Thank you for taking a moment to read this. I created this GoFundMe for my dad, Jesus Hernandez Cruz, who we lost far too soon. He was the heart of our family—a loving father, a devoted husband, and a man whose strength and kindness touched everyone who knew him. For two years, my dad fought cancer with everything he had. He faced every treatment, every setback, and every painful day with courage and a smile that tried to reassure us, even when he was hurting. We truly believed we would have more time with him. But on December 7th, he passed away unexpectedly from a perforated bowel, leaving us with a loss we could never have prepared for. The suddenness of his passing has shattered us. We are doing our best to honor him the way he deserves, but the financial burden of funeral expenses is more than our family can carry alone. If you are able to help—whether by donating or simply sharing this page—we would be deeply grateful. Every gesture of support lightens a small part of this heavy time. Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your compassion as we navigate this heartbreaking loss. Your kindness means more than you know.
