Hi, my name is Maria Mendez and I am Omar’s aunt. Losing Omar has brought immeasurable pain to so many of us - family and friends. We are comforted by the knowledge that he will live on through his beautiful children and the many organ recipients who will now have a chance at life. Many have reached out with offers to assist with related expenses and thus, we are starting this Gofundme account. Your donations will help with medical and funeral expenses as well as help support his children’s future.

Thank you sweet boy for the memories. You will be forever in our hearts.
