I’m raising funds for my cousin, Ruben Rafael Hernandez JR., who has sadly passed away. Our family is now facing the painful reality of planning his funeral and the services needed to honor his life.

Losing Ruben has changed everything for our family, especially for his mom and his siblings. His mom is heartbroken, trying to plan a service while grieving the loss of her son. His siblings are struggling to understand life without their older brother by their side. This loss has left a deep space in our family, and we are trying to come together through that grief.

The funds raised will help cover funeral expenses and services so our family can focus on grieving Ruben without the added stress of financial burden. The service needs to be arranged by October 16, 2026, so this support would mean so much during this difficult time.

If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help Ruben’s family. Any support will help ease some of the weight they are carrying right now, and it will mean a great deal to all of us.
