Hi, my name is Shaby Balachandran, and I am fundraising for the funeral cost of Jose Ortiz.

Jose is the father of my partner, and filled the shoes of my own, over the last few years. He passed away suddenly on July 27, 2022. Leaving behind his son Joshua and daughter Ava Ortiz.

Jose was a devoted father, son, brother, uncle, and friend who touched the lives of those around him.

If you knew Jose, there was never a dull moment; his personality and smile could light up an entire room. With his dad jokes and his go-to punch line, "see you February 31st."

Any donation or sharing of this fundraiser, is greatly appreciated. All proceeds will be going directly to Joshua and Ava to help cover the funeral expenses.

Thank you all in advance.
