Hello to everyone who is reading this. My name is Kelly T. I created this GoFundMe for Marco Vinicio Poveda, my stepchild's uncle. Marco Vinicio Poveda woke up on March 28, 2024, to report for work. While he was working, he suffered a tragic accident that cost him his life. A man who came to the United States to chase what many people call the AMERICAN DREAM. Now he leaves behind his parents, a daughter, and two sisters, who are devastated and heartbroken with their loss. A proud father, a great son, and a loving brother, someone whose life was centered entirely around his family. Someone who worked long hours, often putting his own comfort aside. To those who knew him, he wasn’t just hardworking; he was kind, dependable, and deeply caring. Marco’s greatest joy was his family. As a father, he dreamed of watching his daughter grow, guiding her, and giving her every opportunity he could. As a son and brother, he was a source of pride and support, always present, always willing to help, always putting others before himself. He was loved by all his family, not just for what he did, but for who he was, a man with a generous heart, a warm spirit. Now we ask everyone to help us raise funds for the funeral expenses for Marco to return to Ecuador. For those who have already donated, thank you from the bottom of our hearts; for those who haven't, sharing this story would be greatly appreciated. Every donation will go to the funeral, and the remaining balance will go to his parents, who are in Ecuador. I will be physically giving them the money, and videos will be up once I arrive in Ecuador.

Marco Vinicio Poveda era el tipo de hombre que la gente nunca olvida. No porque buscara atención, sino por la manera tranquila y constante en que siempre estaba presente para las personas que amaba. Un padre orgulloso, un gran hijo y un hermano amoroso. La mayor alegría de Marco era su familia. Como padre, soñaba con ver crecer a su hija, guiarla y darle todas las oportunidades posibles. Como hijo y hermano, era un motivo de orgullo y apoyo: siempre presente, siempre dispuesto a ayudar, siempre poniendo a los demás antes que a sí mismo. Era amado por toda su familia, no solo por lo que hacía, sino por quien era: un hombre de corazón generoso, y un compromiso inquebrantable con quienes amaba. Ahora, sus seres queridos enfrentan no solo el profundo dolor emocional de su pérdida, sino también la incertidumbre de seguir adelante sin el hombre que era su pilar. El legado de Marco vive en el amor que dio, en los valores que representó y en los sueños que tenía para su familia. Aunque su vida fue trágicamente truncada, el impacto que dejó nunca desaparecerá. Cualquier apoyo durante este difícil momento será muy apreciado. Todo lo recaudado de las personas de buen corazón será usado para la repatriación de sus restos mortales a su país natal, Ecuador. Gracias por su colaboración.
