This fundraiser is being organized by AJ Bard on behalf of Victoria Asuega-Niusulu, the beneficiary, following the tragic loss of her brother, Ray Asuega.

Ray Asuega was a beloved son, brother, husband, father, friend, and proud U.S. Navy Sailor whose life was tragically taken while visiting his family in the Philippines. His unexpected passing has left our family devastated and navigating unimaginable emotional and financial burdens.

Victoria Asuega-Niusulu is Ray's sister and has been helping coordinate funeral arrangements, transportation of his remains, and support for Ray's immediate family during this incredibly difficult time.

She is the beneficiary of this fundraiser and will receive the donated funds on behalf of Ray's family.

All donations received will be used solely for expenses related to Ray's passing, including but not limited to:

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Transportation of Ray Asuega's remains from the Philippines to American Samoa

• Memorial services and related costs

• Immediate financial support for Ray's wife and children

• Any remaining expenses directly related to his passing and supporting his family during this difficult time

Every dollar donated will be managed by Victoria on behalf of Ray's family and used exclusively for these purposes.

Our family is deeply grateful for the overwhelming love, prayers, and generosity shown during this heartbreaking time. Your support means more than words can express and helps relieve the financial burden so our family can focus on honoring Ray's life and caring for those he loved most.

Thank you for standing with our family and keeping Ray’s memory alive.
