NEW UPDATE: First, Judi thanks everyone who has made a donation to her cause.

Unfortunately, Judi has reached the point of being two months behind on her bills and she needs help more now than ever.

Her 26-year old car has needed repair after repair in order to pass smog; and without transportation, she is not even able to get to the grocery store.

She only has one Social Security check now that Raymond is gone and it just isn't enough to meet her needs.

She has received notices of intent to lien her property, and she has never been in this position before having always paid her bills on time or even having paid extra just in case.

Once Judi is caught up on her bills, she is focused on getting a plot and headstone for Raymond's burial.

Please, please help ease Judi's situation and her mind by making a donation. Any amount helps and she appreciates all the help she can get.

Thank you so much!

UPDATE: Judi was able to pay for Ray's cremation expenses with the generous donations already made, and Judi is so very appreciative.

Unfortunately, Judi is now up against what will be a second missed mortgage payment. This weighs heavy on Judi, especially since she has always paid her bills on time.

Even small donations add up, so if you can, please make a donation today. And, if you're not able to make a donation, please share this with at least one friend and ask them to do the same.

Thank you very much!!

Please help my 78 year old friend Judi with the cremation and burial of her husband of 59 years, Raymond J. Striano, who died peacefully at home in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 10, 2025 after battling with a long illness. Your donations will help support Judi get through the tough times she is now facing.

She needs to pay for Raymond's cremation and burial first and foremost. Now that Raymond's Social Security isn't going to be there, she won't be able to pay the mortgage without help.

Raymond was born in Brooklyn, New York on May 3, 1945. He attended St. Thomas Aquinas Grammar School and John Jay High School in Brooklyn. He started working while he was still in high school on Wall Street as a runner. He then worked in brokerage houses as a purchase and sales manager until 1989.

Raymond and Judi were married in Staten Island, New York on November 27, 1965. The were married for over 59 years! They lived in Staten Island from 1966 to 1989 when they moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. Raymond worked in Las Vegas for several casinos until he retired at the age of 62.

Raymond had been struggling for years with illness and had been bedridden the last few years until his death. Judi took care of his every need until hospice came in and helped her get through the last few weeks.

Judi is 78 years old and is now worried about how she is going to survive without Raymond. She needs our help! Thank you!
