Hi, my name is Raul, and I’m reaching out on behalf of our family as we prepare for one of the hardest moments of our lives.

Our beautiful mother is now in her final days. Her health declined rapidly from COPD, congestive heart failure, and full kidney and liver failure. She can no longer speak or eat and is mostly unresponsive. While she’s still with us, the doctors have told us it may be just days or weeks before we have to say goodbye.

A Life of Strength, Love, and Family

Our mom was the heart of our family — strong, loving, and full of life. She raised 7 children (5 daughters and 2 sons) and helped raise her grandkids, never once turning away from anyone who needed her.

She was the one who held every gathering together, always with music, dancing, and love in the room. She loved Vegas trips, beach days, family BBQs, and her collection of purses. She had a bright, funny spirit and made even the hardest days feel lighter.

Born in Texas, she built her life in Fresno, where she met our amazing dad — her partner through everything. Together, they gave us a foundation of love that we’re now trying to hold on to, even as we face losing her.

Why We’re Asking for Help

We’re doing our best to manage this moment, but we can’t do it alone. We’re asking for help with:

• End-of-life care and comfort support

• ⚰️ Cremation and memorial service planning

• ‍‍Support for our family as we grieve and care for grandkids

• Travel, time off work, and basic household bills

• Giving her the goodbye she truly deserves

We’ve set a goal of $15,000 to cover these costs and allow our family to grieve without overwhelming financial stress.

From Our Hearts to Yours

If you knew our mom, you know how deeply she loved her family and how many lives she touched. Even if you didn’t know her personally, we hope her story moves you.

Please consider donating or sharing this with others. Every bit of support helps us show our mom the same love she gave us every single day of her life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Raul and Family
