Supporting Joana’s Family Through Tragic Loss
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Tyissha.
I’m reaching out to support an extraordinary colleague and friend, Joana, and her family. Joana has been a part of our agency for over 18 years, selflessly dedicating her time and energy to the people we serve — and then going home to care for her own family with the same compassion.
Recently, Joana and her loved ones have suffered two heartbreaking losses. She lost her biological father just a few months ago, and on July 28, 2025, her stepfather passed away as well.
The family will be holding a local service and then laying him to rest in his home country of El Salvador.
He leaves behind a loving family: his wife of 33 years, Reina Isabel Bonilla Mendoza; his daughter, Karla Morales Clemente, and her husband, Hector Bonilla Caban; his stepchildren, Joana Elizabeth Zayas and Leon Zayas; and his grandchildren — Yaneli Maradiaga Morales, Kimberly Bonilla Morales, Hector Omar Bonilla Morales, and Sophie Naomi Zayas.
Any contribution, big or small, will go a long way in helping this family through such a difficult time. Thank you so much for your support.
