Hello, my family and I are reaching out to ask for support in laying my brother to rest. My little brother, Carlitos, was only 17 years old when his life was taken away during an armed robbery. He leaves behind a 1-month-old newborn baby, 5 sisters, a brother, and his parents. Although he was young and inexperienced, he showed us all that he was going to be an amazing father. He was a very happy and loving soul, always trying to make everyone around him laugh. One of his last wishes was that, if something were to happen to him, his organs should be donated to someone in need. He will continue to be a hero, saving others' lives.

This fundraiser will help us cover the funeral, cemetery plot, casket, other funeral-related fees, and any outstanding medical fees.  

Update:  We are so grateful for the love and support we’ve received during this heartbreaking time. Thanks to your incredible generosity, the funeral expenses were covered several months ago. However, we are still 48% short of the amount needed for his gravestone/tombstone. It’s incredibly important to our family to give him the proper resting place he deserves. The four suspects charged in connection to this tragedy have not yet gone to trial, and the emotional impact continues to weigh heavily on our family. If you’re able to donate, share, or spread the word, we would deeply appreciate it. Every little bit helps us get closer to honoring him the way he deserves. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
