Hello everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to read this. My name is Klarissa, and I’m writing on behalf of my family as we honor and say goodbye to our beautiful grandma, Esther Ortega.

She was more than just a grandmother—she was the heart of our family. She was someone who gave love freely, showed up when it mattered most, and made everyone around her feel safe, cared for, and seen. Her kindness, strength, and warmth will stay with us forever, and her absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled.

As we grieve this loss, our family is also facing the unexpected financial burden that comes with laying a loved one to rest.

We created this GoFundMe to help cover the costs of her funeral and to give her the peaceful and dignified farewell she deserves. Any contribution—no matter the size—would mean more to us than we can put into words. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping our family in your thoughts is just as appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly hard time. We are deeply grateful for every message, prayer, and act of love shown to our family.

With love and gratitude,

The Ortega Family
