Help with funeral costs for my cousin in Guatemala
Donation protected
On December 4th, 2020, I received news that my cousin Nerito passed away in Guatemala. My cousin struggled with mental health and substance use issues for years, but continued to seek help and enjoy his life to the best he could. He was only 35 years old and leaves behind two daughters.
I have decided to raise $3000 on his behalf to help cover some of the costs for his funeral and to help the family back in Guatemala mourn without having to be stressed out about money. Living conditions in Guatemala have become worse with the pandemic so these funds are so important at the moment. If you have the means to donate please do so and if you dont please share this on your social media. It would mean everything to me to be able to support my family back in Guatemala through this.
I still cant believe you're gone. It hurts to know that you left us at only 35 years old and that your two daughters wont get to see you grow old, but I'm going to make sure they know who their family is. We only saw each other about 6 times in our lives, but I still consider you one of my closest cousins. You always showed me, my mom and brother love when we visited Guatemala. Even though my mom would get mad at you and lecture you over the phone she loved the fuck out of you. When all our family neglected our grandmother you were always there to take care of her. She is turning 90 years old next year and I truly believe she continues to live because of the love you showed her. I know we dont have many memories together but ill never forget going to La Cueva de Anda Mira for the first time with you. It was truly amazing being able to finally see the natural beauty of Jutiapa. Its a memory I will remember and cherish forever primo. You may be gone physically but our people/culture remind me that you will continue to exist in other forms of this world and universe.
