I never really thought I would be doing this, but the sudden loss of my father has completely blindsided us. As we move forward, we hope you can help us secure the funds we need to give him a proper ceremony and help securely set up his wife and 13-year-old daughter.

On July 7th, my dad was found unconscious and barely breathing in his bedroom. He was rushed to the hospital but went into cardiac arrest in the ambulance ride and, unfortunately could not be saved. The doctors told us he had a perforation in his stomach that burst and caused internal bleeding. It's insane to think how this all just happened so suddenly and so fast. He was feeling well and in good spirits the days leading up to his passing, this just hit us all out of nowhere.

The fundraiser is for memorial expenses and to help his wife, Martha and 13-year-old daughter, Valeria. They have moved out of their apartment, where my dad was found, and looking for a new place to live. They relied on him for everything, and although I will be doing all I can to help support them from here on, anything that will help set them up would be greatly appreciated and immensely helpful.

I will add the memorial date when we have it for anyone who would like to attend.
