Lost Too Soon: Perdido demasiado pronto

On February 1, my son, Emil, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. He was shot and killed, leaving our family lost and broken. You can find his obituary here… https://www.marianiandson.com/tributes/Emil-Rodriguez Emil had just turned 17. He was a friendly and outgoing boy, who was looking forward to graduating high school and pursuing a career as an ironworker. Emil had won 2 back to back Washington Park Little League Championships, an 11u Regional Championship, and also a Minor League Championship. Emil also loved spending time with his baby sister and nephew, who loved him dearly. Emil is missed greatly by so many family and friends. While our family grieves this devastating loss and attempt to put our lives back together, I have been unable to work and have fallen behind on rent and bills, fearing my children and I will lose our home and everything I worked hard for. During the difficult time, I am reaching out for help. Please consider donating if you are able to do so. Our family is so very grateful for every donation we receive.

El 1 de febrero, mi hijo Emil falleció repentina e inesperadamente. Lo mataron a tiros, dejando a nuestra familia perdida y destrozada. Puedes encontrar su obituario aquí... https://www.marianiandson.com/tributes/Emil-Rodriguez Emil acababa de cumplir 17 años. Era un chico amigable y extrovertido, que esperaba graduarse de la escuela secundaria y seguir una carrera como herrero. Emil había ganado 2 campeonatos consecutivos de ligas menores de Washington Park, un campeonato regional 11u y también un campeonato de ligas menores. A Emil también le encantaba pasar tiempo con su hermanita y su sobrino, quienes lo amaban muchísimo. Muchos familiares y amigos extrañan mucho a Emil. Mientras nuestra familia lamenta esta pérdida devastadora e intenta recomponer nuestras vidas, yo no he podido trabajar y me he atrasado en el pago del alquiler y las facturas, por temor a que mis hijos y yo perdamos nuestra casa y todo por lo que trabajé duro. Durante el momento difícil, busco ayuda. Por favor considere donar si puede hacerlo. Nuestra familia está muy agradecida por cada donación que recibimos.
