Family and friends I am Raphael Cruz’s youngest daughter Luna. My father has been battling a few health issues since March of this year. He has been fighting every day in hopes he would regain his strength & health. It has a been a long few months in and out of doctor offices & hospitals. The past few weeks his health has declined, the doctors don’t know how much more time we have left with him. He is home with us, we have him as comfortable as possible. We are left with many medical bills & future bills to come during this serious time for our family. We have tried our best to make ends meet, but we are humbly asking family & friends for help. My father was an incredible musician, I like to call him my Icon. He has been blessed to share the stage with amazing musicians & singers in his life time. Every day he chased his passion of music but was also an amazing father to all his kids and a great friend to many. He never missed one of my dance recitals or any of my brothers sporting events. The last 8 years up until this summer he owned an Antique furniture store in Cliffside Park. He loved to help his customers, he was always so excited to show them his plants he worked so hard to grow, or one of his new one of a kind antique pieces to his neighborhood. We are asking you to help us in any way you can, we understand this has been a rough year for many. On that note in the behalf of my father he loves each and everyone one of you!
