<div>I am writing to you with a heavy heart and deep sadness. Armando, the sole provider of his 7 children and wife, the pillar of his community and church, and the most humble and serving person I have known, has lost his battle with cancer on June 25th, 2022. <strong>On behalf of his family, we are fundraising $50,000 to cover his funeral costs and, most importantly, to financially support his family while they learn to live with him only in spirit.</strong>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Armando is survived by the love of his life and his seven beautiful children. His eldest just graduated High School as class president and will attend UW Madison, his two high schoolers are confident, respectful, and intelligent young teenagers, and his youngest four are a lively, kind and generous bunch who love to play with Charlie the family dog. Armando was a loving and serving husband. In his final days, being too weak to write or communicate, he somehow found the strength to reach out to his wife for one last hug. Armando was a pillar of the community and its church: he sang and served for the church for 24 years, and he was a role model for coworkers, friends, nieces, nephews, and siblings. My favorite memories are Christmas eve when he would lead my aunts and a dozen children as they serenaded through the night to welcome Christmas day.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Armando was constantly worried and taking care of his family, so he worked until the end. As the sole provider for his family, his death is not only a devastating loss; his loss presents a critical financial emergency. We want to honor his life by supporting his family during this difficult time. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to cover the funeral costs and, most urgently, to help his family of eight with living expenses.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>My aunt will only accept what is immediately necessary; she only recently accepted our offer to financially help after years of being his pillar as he courageously battled cancer. Their savings account has been drained. She will return to work, but during their time of grieving, we humbly ask for help.</strong>
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>All proceeds will go directly to my aunt to cover funeral costs and ensure their family will be cared for. It is not much, but it is urgently needed.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Please, we ask you to help this family with anything you may have to spare. Any help is welcome and goes directly to helping them with groceries, utility bills, school supplies, gas money, monthly expenses, and medical visits for her children. Please contact me if you would like to help in other ways.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>God bless, hold your families tight, and thank you.
</div>

<div>Les escribo con una profunda tristeza. Armando, el proveedor de sus 7 hijos y esposa, el pilar de su comunidad e iglesia, y la persona más humilde y servicial que he conocido, perdió su batalla contra el cáncer el 25 de junio de 2022. En nombre de su familia, estamos recaudando $50,000 para cubrir los costos de su funeral y, lo que es más importante, para apoyar financieramente a su familia mientras aprenden a vivir con él solo en espíritu.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>A Armando le sobrevive el amor de su vida y sus siete hermosos hijos. Su hija mayor acaba de graduarse de la escuela secundaria como presidenta de la clase y asistirá a la Universidad de Wisconsin en Madison, sus dos adolescentes son estudiantes de secundaria y son muy seguros de sí mismos, respetuosos e inteligentes, y los cuatro más jóvenes son un grupo de niños alegres, amables y generosos a quienes les encanta jugar con Charlie, el perro de la familia. Armando fue un esposo amoroso y servicial. En sus últimos días, siendo demasiado débil para escribir o comunicarse, de alguna manera encontró la fuerza para darle un último abrazo a su esposa. Armando fue un pilar de la comunidad y su iglesia: cantó y sirvió para la iglesia durante 24 años, y fue un modelo a seguir para compañeros de trabajo, amigos, sobrinas, sobrinos y hermanos. Mis recuerdos favoritos son la víspera de Navidad cuando él guiaba a mis tías y una docena de niños mientras cantaban una serenata durante la noche para dar la bienvenida al día de Navidad.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Armando siempre estuvo preocupado y cuidando a su familia, por lo que trabajó hasta el final. Como único proveedor de su familia, su muerte no es solo una pérdida devastadora; su pérdida presenta una emergencia financiera crítica. Queremos honrar su vida apoyando a su familia durante este momento difícil. Nuestro objetivo es recaudar $50,000 para cubrir los costos del funeral y, lo que es más urgente, para apoyar a su familia de ocho con los gastos necesarios.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Mi tía sólo aceptará lo que sea inmediatamente necesario; ella sólo aceptó recientemente nuestra oferta de ayuda financiera después de años de ser su pilar mientras luchaba valientemente contra el cáncer. Su cuenta de ahorros se ha vaciado. Ella volverá a trabajar, pero durante su tiempo de luto, humildemente pedimos ayuda.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Todos los ingresos irán directamente a mi tía para cubrir los costos del funeral y asegurar que su familia sea atendida. No es mucho, pero se necesita con urgencia.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Por favor, le pedimos que ayude a esta familia con cualquier cosa que pueda tener de sobra. Cualquier ayuda es bienvenida y va directamente a ayudarlos con el mandado, gastos mensuales de la casa, útiles escolares, dinero para gasolina, y visitas médicas para sus hijos. Comuníquese conmigo, Verónica Sotelo o Claudia Muñoz si desea ayudar de otras maneras.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Dios los bendiga, abracen a sus familias y gracias.
</div>

<div>
