We are heartbroken to share the sudden and unexpected passing of our beloved Ralph De La Rosa.

Ralph touched countless lives with their wisdom, compassion, and deep humanity. Through their work Ralph helped so many find healing, meaning, and connection. Their absence is a profound loss, felt deeply by a wide and loving community.

In the wake of this tragedy, we are reaching out for support to help cover the significant and unexpected expenses related to Ralph’s passing. These costs include funeral arrangements, cremation, transportation, and the many logistical details of gathering and moving their belongings.

This fund is intended to ease the logistical and financial burdens on Ralph’s mother and family as they navigate the early stages of grief and the overwhelming number of decisions that follow the unexpected death of a loved one. Your generosity will allow them the time and space to mourn without added financial pressure.

If you’re able to contribute — in any amount — your generosity will make a meaningful difference during this incredibly difficult time. More than anything, we are grateful for the love and support being shared from near and far.

Ralph’s mother is planning a private funeral for close family.

Details about a public memorial will be shared here in the coming week, as plans come together.

With love and gratitude,

Amanda

on behalf of Sally, Ralph’s mother and the sole beneficiary of this campaign
