Hi, it's Cently. I'm on here and i hate it. I don't want to be here. But the grand finale to 2020 for me was my father dying suddenly in a car accident on the morning December 22nd 2020. Has many of you may know, I'm the only one out of his four children who had a relationship with him. And we both worked really hard for that relationship. I am not an easy daughter for a traditional Mexican father to have, but he respected my boundaries and we grew together. He loved my children, and I know he loved me. Unfortunately, me and his next of kin, his wife are not seeing eye to eye. And 6 months after his death there has still been no memorial.

 

Therefore I have taken it upon myself to return my father's ashes to his hometown in mexico, Guadalajara I don't have the support of my mother, or his wife, or of my siblings. And I respect their decisions, yet it leaves it all on to me.

 

I am raising funds to pay for my plane ticket, the church services, the urn, and the paperwork to transport his remains back to Mexico, and in addition I will be paying a funeral home to professionally divide his ashes for me and his wife. 

 

My father deserves to be remembered, and to have a proper burial.  I am determined to do it. And I hope you will help me. Thank you.
