Laurencio Sanchez Ibarra Funeral Expenses

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I'm raising money to help my family fund the funeral expenses for my grandfather.

The last four years my family has been taking care of my grandpa full time as his Alzheimer's and Parkinson's got worse. Having to see the progression of memory loss and his ability to complete simple skills has been a devastating experience along with knowing that there is no cure and that medication can only prolong the inevitable for so long. Having a loved one suffer from this disease is difficult, you watch as the person you have known all your life, slowly fades away as the disease gets worse and you hope for a day where a flicker of recognition shines through. Getting lost in memories of time past, all one can do is go along with the memory they are currently in.

Even though my grandfather didn't remember our names or who we were towards the late stages of Alzheimer's, he was aware that he was with people who loved him and that made all the difference.

We knew that this moment would come at some point but did not expect it to happen as quickly as it did and that we would be forced to say goodbye in the blink of an eye.

Any support is appreciated whether that be a comforting word, donation, or a share of the link. We cannot thank you enough for the support and comfort throughout these last few years.

Thank you and God bless you all.
