Help Lay 2-Year Old Joaquin Mendez To Rest

It is with a shattered heart that I am writing this on behalf of my best friends, Marisa Hernandez and Juan Mendez. In the early hours of Saturday, Sept. 20th, their sweet two-year-old son, Joaquin, passed away unexpectedly.

Their lives will never be the same without his joyful spirit, contagious laugh, and endless hugs. There are no words to describe the pain of losing a child, especially at such a young age.

They are now faced with the impossible task of grieving while also planning a funeral. We have created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden of memorial services and other unexpected costs.

Your support will give them the space they need to mourn without the added stress of financial worries.

Any donation, no matter the size, would be very appreciated during this unbelievably difficult time. If you are not in a position to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser or simply keeping Marisa, Juan, their children David, Jayde, Jamie and Catalina as well as all of their family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
