On New Years Day, Gilbert Araya, Jr and his family woke up and found that their whole world had been turned upside down. Their beloved wife and mother, Merari Gonzalez, had unexpectedly passed away in her sleep. To say that the loss of Merari is tragic and devastating, does not adequately describe the impact on the family; and they need our support.

The purpose of the GoFundMe is to provide the necessary financial support for this family whose lives changed in the blink of an eye. Funeral services, financial support for future child care, among many other reasons. Any support and prayers for this family will make a difference.
