<div>It’s with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of Gabriela “Gabby” Blanco’s passing. She was a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, whose creativity and resilience touched so many lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gabby lived in Caracas, Venezuela, where she worked tirelessly to support her 70-year-old mother and sister. In a country where economic instability makes daily life a struggle, her income was a lifeline for her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gabby had been battling scleroderma, a rare and aggressive disease. Despite her condition, she showed incredible strength, continuing to work every day, even up until the Friday before her passing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, her family is not only grieving the loss of someone they loved dearly but also facing immense financial uncertainty. Funeral expenses and the sudden loss of income have left them in urgent need of support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe has been created to honor Gabby’s legacy and provide her family with the help they need during this heartbreaking time. Your donations will assist with funeral costs and provide her mother and sister the resources to begin rebuilding their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any amount you can contribute will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with others would mean the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for helping us celebrate the life of an extraordinary person.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div>Gabby’s Friends and Supporters

<div>(Organized by her employer in the US. Funds will be relayed to the family via PayPal)
