It’s never easy to lose someone close to you—unimaginable to lose a child. On Monday, 3/23/26, Ralph Perez lost his son, John Mathew Perez. In the midst of this heartbreaking loss, he is also facing unexpected expenses.

This fundraiser was created to support our friend and co-worker, Ralph, during this incredibly difficult time. The funds will help ease the burden of funeral and related expenses, allowing him the space to grieve without added financial stress.

Any amount, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page would mean so much.
