On February 7th, our beloved Erick, just 17 years old, was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident while on his way to visit his sister. Erick was a kind and respectful young man who loved his family fiercely and spread warmth and kindness to everyone he met. His sudden loss has left a hole in our hearts and an urgent need for support.
Erick’s mother, Alma Jimenez, is a single parent and widow raising five children, including one child with Down syndrome. Alma now faces the unimaginable task of arranging funeral services and caring for her family alone. The financial burden of funeral and burial expenses, as well as memorial costs, is overwhelming for her during this devastating time.
We are raising funds to help cover these expenses and give Erick the dignified farewell he deserves. Every contribution—large or small—will help ease the burden on Alma and her family. If you can’t give, please share this campaign to help spread the word. Thank you for your compassion and support.
El 7 de febrero, nuestro querido Erick, de solo 17 años, murió trágicamente en un accidente de atropello y fuga mientras se diría a visitar a su hermana. Erick era un joven amable y respetuoso que amaba ferozmente a su familia y difundía calidez y amabilidad a todos los que conocía. Su repentina pérdida ha dejado un agujero en nuestros corazones y una necesidad urgente de apoyo.
La madre de Erick, Alma Jiménez, es madre soltera y viuda que cría a cinco hijos, incluido un niño con síndrome de Down. Alma ahora se enfrenta a la inimaginable tarea de organizar servicios funerarios y cuidar de su familia sola. La carga financiera de los gastos funerarios y funerarios, así como los gastos conmemorativos, es abrumadora para ella durante este tiempo devastador.
Estamos recaudando fondos para ayudar a cubrir estos gastos y darle a Erick la despedida digna que se merece. Cada contribución, grande o pequeña, ayudará a aliviar la carga sobre Alma y su familia. Si no puede dar, comparta esta campaña para ayudar a correr la voz. Gracias por su compasión y apoyo.
We are raising funds for Erick Mother. I am a close friend to their Cousin who lives in Colorado named Dulce.
Dulce will be receiving the funds and will send it directly to Erick Mother. The funds will be used for the funeral expenses.
