On April 9, 2026, my cousin passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident. He was driving back from university to his home in Guayaquil when the crash happened. He was loved by everyone around him and was known for being one of the happiest and funniest people. Joaquin was known for always being the nicest person in the room and being someone you could always count on for a helping hand or someone to talk to.

Our family is deeply saddened by this loss. Joaquin was only 18 years old, with an amazing, bright future ahead of him. We ask for your help in this time of grief, to pray for our family and bless us and his parents in any way possible. Any donations will go to Joaquin's mother, Andrea.
