Rafael's Funeral Costs

Donation protected
Hi everyone, Im going to begin with my son Rafael Parra Jr's backstory.. My son was born July 13th, 1993 and not knowing he was born with heart problems until a few days later. Doctors did tests and found out he has a condition called Dextrocardia a congenital heart disease where your heart is reversed. He also had 9 different defects. Been through 5 surgeries from the ages of 5 to 13. Last one was an open heart where they placed in a mechanical valve. My name is Rafael Parra Sr. and I am the main beneficiary for my son Rafael Parra Jr. who I will be receiving these Gofundme funds. And also my wife Maria Parra the mother of Rafael Parra Jr. will also be another one of the beneficiaries. And my sons soon to be wife Raina Lovey Salazar will be another beneficiary that will help receive these funds. We are making this fundraiser due to our son Rafael being in the Ronald Reagan UCLA hospital for a heart transplant. I Rafael Parra Sr. am currently out of work so I could be with my son Rafael Parra Jr. The money that will be donated will be used for our transportation due to the fact that we live in San Bernardino, CA and my son is at UCLA which is about a 70 mile drive going to  there and a 70 mile drive coming back everyday I go to see him. And it helps his soon to be wife Raina & his one in a half year old daughter with transportation to see him as much as possible. It will be used not only for transportation but also other expenses that will come along that we won't be able to pay at the moment. And to help pay to stay in a hotel near by so we don’t miss anything because right now he is hanging in there with everything he’s got until they get him a heart and being 3rd on the list. Anyone that is willing to help is very much appreciated. Anything at this point will help even some prayers.
