I never imagined I would be writing something like this.

Last night, I lost my son, Juan Tobias. My heart is completely shattered. One moment he was here, and the next, my world changed forever. His passing was sudden and completely unexpected, and I am still in shock trying to understand how this could happen. I just thank God I was there with him till the end.

Juan became very sick very quickly from what seemed like a throat infection or illness. His throat swelled, he struggled to breathe, and tragically, he lost his life. . It was an unexpected medical emergency that took my son from me far too soon.

Juan was my child. No matter how old he was, he was still my baby. He was a son, a brother, an uncle, cousin, nephew, a grandson, and a friend. He was loved deeply, and his life mattered. He had struggles like so many do, but he also had a heart, a story, and people who loved him more than words can express.

Nothing prepares a mother to bury her child. Because this happened so suddenly, I am now facing funeral, burial, and viewing expenses that I am struggling to cover. During the hardest moment of my life, I am also trying to figure out how to lay my son to rest with the dignity and love he deserves.

I am humbly asking for help from family, friends, and anyone who feels moved to support me during this heartbreaking time. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean more than I can say. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this and keeping my family and my son in your prayers.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, kindness, and support. I will never forget it.
