Help Carlos's Family

Donation protected
Hello everyone. My name is Jesenia, and it is with a heavy heart that I bring you the sorrowful news of losing not just a brother, but the best one I could have ever hoped for.

On Thursday, November 27, 2025, he called us to let us know that he had been arrested in Mexico while trying to come here to see our mother. As some of you may be aware, our mother was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis back in September, and we nearly lost her because her MELD score was already quite high. This was all due to an autoimmune condition that led to her cirrhosis. Thankfully, on October 16, we received a miracle when she had liver transplant surgery.

Then, on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, I received a call informing me that in Mexico, they were looking for the family of a Guatemalan male in prison who had passed away. My brother just wanted to see his mom. Carlos was the funniest, most caring, and sweetest person anyone could ever know. He was my best friend, and I was his. He left behind two children and a wife, and we all share this pain.

If you can help support and share this message, I would be truly grateful. God bless you all. We are currently financially unable, so anything would help us fund his funeral and support his lovely family.
