It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Maria Benitez also known as Milagros. Maria was murdered in her apartment in Rochester NY. Many have heard or seen this on the news and the family she left behind are as stunned as can be. She meant so much to so many as a mother, a loving aunt to myself, and a big part of every family and friend she knew.

As we grieve this unexpected loss, we are also facing the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses. Im looking raising funds to help cover funeral services, cremation costs, and related arrangements so we can focus on honoring Maria’s life and memory without the added stress of financial strain.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, would mean more to us than we can express. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

As this goes for all, tell the people around you that you love them and pray to god as much as you can that you don’t lose a family member the way we lost Maria Benitez. May her life be remembered here on earth and look down on us from heaven.
