Support Ofelia & Danny: Expenses for Daniel

Donation protected
Ofelia and Danny are devoted parents and grandparents who have always been the foundation of their family. Today, they are facing more than any family should have to endure. Their son, Daniel, was a single father raising his two daughters, Dezirae and Alexandra (“Ali”), with the constant love and support of his parents. Together, they built a deeply connected family. Just under two years ago, tragedy struck in a way that changed their lives forever. Daniel’s daughters and two other passengers were involved in a horrific car accident. Tragically, Ali was the only survivor. She suffered devastating injuries. What followed were countless surgeries, months in the hospital, and a difficult road through rehabilitation. In the face of it all, Ali fought her way back, she is now speaking and walking again, milestones that once felt out of reach. But her journey is far from over. Ali will live the rest of her life with around-the-clock nursing care. For nearly two years, Ofelia and Danny have carried that responsibility without hesitation. They have become her primary caregivers, showing up every single day with strength, love, and unwavering faith. Recently, the Perez family suffered more devastation. Daniel suffered a stroke. He worked tirelessly to recover, determined to keep showing up for his family. Hoping to celebrate his recovery, they took a trip together; a brief escape from all he'd endured. While on that trip, Daniel suffered a second stroke. He fell into a coma and, after a week-long fight, passed away far from home, with only his father by his side. In less than two years, this family has endured unimaginable loss, ongoing medical hardship, and profound grief, while continuing to care for Ali every single day. Now, they are also facing overwhelming financial strain. The cost of Ali’s lifelong care, Daniel’s transportation home, and unexpected travel expenses for the family have created a burden no family should have to carry alone. All funds raised will help transport Daniel home, funeral expenses and support Ali's continued medical and daily care needs. We are requesting your help to support Ofelia and Danny as they continue caring for Ali and begin navigating life after the loss of their son. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease this burden. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page can make a meaningful difference.
