Hello everyone. My name is Erick Zapata. I’m creating this GoFundMe to help my mother and the family with the expenses of getting my brother back to the Dominican Republic. My brother, Manuel Emilio De Jesus Cocco Rodriguez, passed away a few days ago. It left the whole family shattered. My brother was the light in the room wherever he was. Always making everyone smile and laugh. Always dancing and being a joyful person. Me and him were always together since we were kids. There was no me without him and no him without me. In this tough and difficult time, I would like to ask for help from anyone that would be willing to donate to help us. Anything would help. Thank you for donating and may God bless you all.
