I recently lost my brother, Ernesto Molina. He was not only my sibling but also my role model, someone I looked up to every day. Losing him has left a huge hole in our family, and we are all struggling to come to terms with this loss. Ernesto was the kind of person who always put others first, and his kindness touched everyone who knew him.

Right now, my family and I are facing the difficult task of arranging Ernesto’s funeral. The costs for the funeral home and related expenses are more than we can manage on our own. We want to give Ernesto the respectful farewell he deserves, but we need some help to make that possible.

Anything helps. Thank you to everyone who reaches out to me or my parents during this time. We are grateful for your support and just ask for a little bit of privacy as we grieve and remember Ernesto.
