Help Nathan, Recently Lost Daughter & Now His Wife Passed

On behalf of my brother Nathan, it is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of his beloved wife Brianna on the evening of Tuesday, April 22nd, into the morning of April 23rd. Brianna was full of life and loved her family and friends deeply; she will be missed beyond words.

In January, Brianna was having health issues that led to the unexpected news that she was in need of a liver transplant. She had her gallbladder removed, resulting in increased health issues and a prolonged hospital stay. On March 5th, she got accepted as a patient at the Cleveland Clinic for a liver transplant, but on that day we also received the tragic news that my 11-year-old niece Aaliyah, their only child, left this world unexpectedly due to reasons we still have not been able to process or wrap our heads around.

Needless to say, she did not make it to the Cleveland Clinic due to the preparation for funeral arrangements for their daughter, resulting in the delay of her transplant. She was finally released from UTMC on March 14th for the funeral of their daughter, but with her liver complications came the failure of her kidneys. This required the need for hemodialysis, on top of the paracentesises she had already been receiving. Both procedures are a lot for one's body to endure, but she refused to give up and fought the best she could, but ultimately her body gave out on her ...

My brother is left in disarray. In a matter of less than two months, he lost his pride & joy, along with the apple of his eye. Now he is trying to figure out how to navigate from here on out. Instead of celebrating his birthday on April 25th, we are once again planning for more unexpected funeral arrangements.

The GoFundMe for his daughter's funeral covered the expenses and allowed him to take time off work and be with his wife, which they were so ever gracious for, but now he is starting all over with arrangements, needing two headstones versus one, and will need time off once again. So with this GoFundMe, I am hoping to alleviate some of the stress off of Nathan's shoulders in any way possible. We are not ones to ask for money or look for handouts, but any little bit helps ... big or small! My brother's expectations aren't high, so he said he is grateful for whatever can be given. I know times are tough for everyone so if you are unable to donate, please, PLEASE share ... for those who have the means to help!

On behalf of the Saldivar/Rendon/Estrada family, continue to pray for us and thank you for your outpouring love, support, and prayers we have been receiving. ❤️
