​It is with the most profound sorrow and a truly broken heart that I share the devastating news of my beloved brother, Israel Hernandez (Ewok) , passing away unexpectedly yesterday. Our family is in complete shock and grappling with this sudden and unimaginable loss.

​Israel was so much more than a brother; he was a loyal friend, free spirited and brought so much joy to everyone he met. He was known for his, infectious laugh, his kindness, and big heart, and his absence has left a massive void in our lives that can never be filled.

​We are starting this fundraiser to help our family cover the immediate and unexpected costs of his funeral, memorial services, and other end-of-life expenses. No one is ever truly prepared for such a tragic event, and the financial burden has added immense stress to our grieving process.

​Any donation, no matter how small, will help us immensely in giving Israel the dignified and beautiful farewell he deserves. More than money, we ask for your prayers and to share his story.

​Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, support, and for keeping our family in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.
