I’m creating this fundraiser for a family that means so much to me, as we are all going through an unimaginable tragedy.
Joel was more than a friend—he was like family to me. He was a loving father and a devoted partner to Lupe, always putting his family first. On April 4th, his life was taken far too soon in a devastating accident caused by a wrong-way DUI driver. He was on his way to go see family for Easter, a time that should have been filled with love and togetherness. His sudden passing has left behind a family who depended on him deeply and loved him endlessly.
His 7-year-old daughter, Bella, is currently in the hospital fighting to recover from serious injuries. His partner, Lupe, is also undergoing treatment for life-threatening injuries. This has been an incredibly painful and overwhelming time for their family as they try to process everything while facing a long road to recovery.
Joel was not only a father but a provider, a protector, and the heart of his family. He leaves behind multiple children who are now navigating life without him.
As someone who loves this family deeply, I am asking for support to help ease the financial burden during this time. Donations will go toward:
Medical expenses for Bella and Lupe
Funeral and memorial costs for Joel
Ongoing support for the children and family’s immediate needs
If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping this family in your thoughts and prayers.
We pray for strength, healing, and comfort during this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you for your love and support.

Estoy creando esta recaudación de fondos en apoyo a una familia muy querida, ya que todos estamos atravesando una tragedia verdaderamente inimaginable.
Joel fue más que un amigo; fue como parte de mi familia. Se distinguía por ser un padre amoroso y una pareja profundamente dedicada a Lupe, siempre priorizando el bienestar de sus seres queridos. El pasado 4 de abril, su vida fue truncada de manera repentina en un trágico accidente provocado por un conductor bajo la influencia. Su inesperada partida ha dejado un profundo vacío en una familia que dependía de él y lo amaba incondicionalmente.
Su hija de 7 años, Bella, se encuentra hospitalizada luchando por recuperarse de condiciones graves. Asimismo, su pareja, Lupe, continúa recibiendo atención medica. Este ha sido un momento sumamente doloroso y abrumador para la familia, quienes enfrentan no solo el duelo, sino también un largo proceso de recuperación.
Joel no solo fue un padre ejemplar, sino también el principal sostén, protector y pilar fundamental de su hogar. Deja atrás a varios hijos que ahora deberán afrontar la vida sin su presencia.
Con respeto y solidaridad, solicitamos su apoyo para ayudar a mitigar la carga económica durante este difícil momento. Las contribuciones se destinarán a:
• Gastos médicos de Bella y Lupe
• Gastos funerarios y conmemorativos de Joel
• Apoyo continuo para los hijos y las necesidades inmediatas de la familia
Si no le es posible contribuir económicamente, agradeceríamos profundamente que comparta esta página y mantenga a la familia en sus pensamientos y oraciones.
Elevamos nuestras oraciones por fortaleza y consuelo en estos momentos tan difíciles.
Agradecemos sinceramente su apoyo, solidaridad y generosidad.
