Memorial Fund for Sergio Cruz-Fondo Conmemorativo
Donation protected
On 10-24-20, my friend and ESL student, Sergio Cruz, died unexpectedly of a heart attack, leaving Rebeca, his wife and best friend behind. Sergio was a warm, kind soul, with a wonderful sense of humor. A natural born comic, Sergio always had us laughing in class. It was my pleasure to get to work with this wonderful couple who I found to be two of the nicest, most humble and hardworking people you could ever hope to meet.
While I know many people are struggling at this time due to Covid-19, immigrant families are especially vulnerable. They have to work twice as hard for half the pay. And while Rebeca does have a job, her hours were drastically reduced due to the virus. Now that Sergio is gone, Rebeca needs all the help she can get to cover medical and funeral expenses and to make ends meet while she transitions through this difficult time. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. 100% of donations are doing directly to Rebeca.
El 24/10/20, mi amigo y estudiante de ESL (ingles por idioma segunda), Sergio Cruz, tuvo un infarto y murio' inesperdamente dejando atras a Rebeca, su esposa, mejor amiga, y como diria Sergio, su media naranja. Sergio era un alma bien amable con un maravilloso sentido del humor. Un comico nato, siempre nos hizo reir en clase. Fue un placer para me trabajar con esta maravillosa pareja que encontre' como dos de las personas mas agradables, mas humildes y trabajadores que podrias esperar conocer.
Aunque se' que muchas personas estan luchando en este momento debido a covid-19, las familias inmigrantes son especialmente vulnerables. Tienen que trabajar dos veces mas duro por la mitad del dinero. Y aunque Rebeca tiene un trabajo, sus horas se redujeron drasticamente debido al virus. Ahora que Sergio se ha ido, Rebeca necesita toda la ayuda que pueda obtener para cubrir los gastos medicos y funerarios y pagar el alquiler minetras ella pasa por este momento tan dificil. Cualquier ayuda que puedas dar es muy apreciada. 100% de las donaciones van directamente a Rebeca. Muchas gracias!
