Jerónima Quinilla Castro de Cos, a dedicated volunteer at CCT, died unexpectedly on July 22, at the age of 35. A devoted wife and mother, she leaves behind three children, ages 14, 11, and 9. Her husband, Catarino Castro, was detained by ICE in late April of this year, and is now left to care for their family on his own.

CCT is raising funds to help defray the funeral expenses, the repatriation of Jerónima's remains to her native San Andrés Sajcabajá in Guatemala, and support the children as they face life without their mother.

Jerónima was generous with her time and often came to lend a hand at CCT's offices. She had an active asylum claim at the time of her death, and we are working to help her surviving family members with their legal cases.
