Idalia Ruiz

Ida is gone.

This Andres, her bother, raising money for the loss of she who was loved and admired by many. We are not really asking for money but if contributions would like to be made, I speak for the entirety of my family that we appreciate any and all.

She's irreplacable. A strong woman with a big heart and a strong mind. She kept her circles small but her kindness touched many people's hearts over the course of her life. Energy that uplifted any place she stepped into. A wild flower, with the ability to bloom in even the darkest moments. A true Black Dalia.

An aspiring biomedical engineer, she was willing to build on her skills to better the world to the best of her abilities. A hustler. Courage no hizo falta to accomplish the goals she set for herself. Dreaming of traveling the world with those she loved most was one of her biggest wishes.

I dare not say it, for she is only away. Free. Forever.

And we shall never see her like again.
