<div>Hello friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our beloved <strong>Gerardo Ortiz</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gerardo was a bright, young 24-year-old CNA at Providence St. Vincent Hospital while currently enrolled in nursing school to obtain his RN, BSN degree.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gerardo was enjoying his evening with friends in Portland when he tragically lost his life due to a horrific scooter accident. He was cherished by his mother, sister, nieces, friends, and family. His warmth, love, and kindness touched so many lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As we navigate this heartbreaking loss, we want to give Gerardo the dignified farewell he deserves. Unfortunately, the costs of funeral and memorial services are much higher than we ever imagined.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for your support to help cover:
</div>
<div>• Funeral/memorial services
</div>
<div>• Bereavement leave as his mother is self-employed and is suffering the loss of her only son.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is <strong>$20,000</strong>, which reflects the essential expenses needed to give Gerardo a proper memorial. <strong>Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will make a difference. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser means the world to us.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are so grateful for your love, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Thank you for helping us celebrate Gerardo's memory and legacy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Mother and family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hola amigos, familiares y personas de corazón,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con profunda tristeza, compartimos el fallecimiento de nuestro querido Gerardo Ortiz.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gerardo era un joven y brillante auxiliar de enfermería en el Hospital Providence St. Vincent, mientras cursaba sus estudios de enfermería para obtener su título de Enfermero Registrado y Licenciado en Enfermería (RN/BSN).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gerardo disfrutaba de una tarde con amigos en Portland cuando perdió la vida trágicamente en un terrible accidente de moto.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su madre, su hermana, sus sobrinas, sus amigos y su familia lo querían mucho. Su calidez, amor y bondad conmovieron a tantas personas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mientras afrontamos esta desgarradora pérdida, queremos brindarle a Gerardo la despedida digna que merece. Desafortunadamente, los costos del funeral y los servicios conmemorativos son mucho más altos de lo que jamás imaginamos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Solicitamos su apoyo para cubrir:
</div>
<div>• Servicios funerarios/conmemorativos
</div>
<div>• Licencia por duelo, ya que su madre trabaja por cuenta propia y está sufriendo la pérdida de su único hijo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nuestra meta es de $20,000. Lo que cubre los gastos esenciales para brindarle a Gerardo un homenaje digno. Cualquier cantidad que pueda donar, por pequeña que sea, marcará la diferencia. Incluso si no puede donar, compartir esta recaudación de fondos significa muchísimo para nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Agradecemos enormemente su cariño, oraciones y apoyo durante este momento difícil. Gracias por ayudarnos a celebrar la memoria y el legado de Gerardo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con cariño y gratitud, Madre y familia.
</div>
<div><br />
