Dear friends and colleagues,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I write with a heavy heart to share the passing of our dear coworker and friend, Jackie Velandia.

Jackie had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, and many of you joined us in supporting her through a GoFundMe campaign to help with medical expenses. Your generosity and prayers meant the world to her and her family during those difficult weeks.

Jackie was a dedicated employee and a beloved member of our team—known for her kindness, hard work, and unwavering spirit. Her only support here in the U.S. was her son, and together they faced this battle with quiet strength and courage. Sadly, despite her determination, Jackie’s journey came to an end far too soon.

We have now updated the GoFundMe to help cover her burial expenses, ensuring she is laid to rest with the dignity and love she deserves. If you feel moved to contribute or share the campaign, your support will help ease the burden on her family and honor the memory of someone who gave so much to those around her.

Thank you for standing with Jackie—and with each other—with compassion and care. We will share details about memorial arrangements as they become available.

May you rest in peace, "Beautiful Chamita"
