Hello,

We are fundraising to help Tom Haynes cover the costs of hospitalization and funeral services for our favorite lady, Lora Gallegos-Haynes. Lora experienced a cardiac event Friday night (12/16/22) and her brain was oxygen deprived. Sadly, she was not able to come back to us.

Lora has been a strong beacon of hope, knowledge, generosity and love in her community.

She has been a beloved Spanish teacher at Hays High School, an active member and supporter of her church New Life Center, and an avid volunteer at the summer pool and many bingo nights. We all know Lora as everyone's grandma; not only does she have many grandkids in her family, but has essentially adopted all the grandkids in her community. Lora has been known for her incredible selflessness and she is giving one last amazing gift to others by donating her organs.

She is a beloved friend, wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandma and great-grandma.

Lora was a teacher of all things in life and we could all count on her whenever needed. It would be wonderful if we could allow Lora's husband, Tom to process and grieve without the extra burden of financial stress.

Your donations will be going towards medical costs and funeral services. Any remaining funds will go directly to Tom to help support him financially during this time of loss.

We want to thank everyone who has come out offering support, food deliveries, comfort and prayers throughout this process. It is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

The Haynes Family
