In memory of Alejandro Domínguez

Donation protected
This fund has been started to urgently raise money for the mother and sister of my dear friend Alejandro who was viciously murdered in his hotel room in Vilcabamba, Ecuador on April 22, 2018. The man being charged in this case was a foreign visitor to the community and was known for his violent behaviour and previous attacks on others. Alejandro was an innocent victim in this heinous crime.  See the news links for further information:

Clarin (Argentina) article translated in English 

Alejandro was originally from Lanús, a city in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina and his loving family does not have the means necessary to cover the expenses related to his death in a foreign country to get Alejandro home, nor the funeral expenses.
 
Ale was an exceptionally kind and generous man, loved and respected by so many whose lives he touched. He had a strong passion for social justice and he thrived on helping others. Through his delicate yet powerful art, and inspired by his sincere wish to make the world a better place, he gave back to the community with many local art and mural projects.

All collected funds will be received by me, Karin Hoogland, the campaign organizer, as the beneficiary on behalf of Elizabeth Dominguez, Alejandro's sister. The funds are used to pay via direct banking transfer, through the Royal Bank of Canada, the expenses from La Funeraria (based out of Quito, Ecuador) in order to transfer Alejandro from Loja, Ecuador to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Additional funds raised above and beyond the expenses from La Funeraria (USD$3,800) will be sent directly to Elizabeth Dominguez (Alejandro's sister) via direct banking transfer to cover funeral expenses in Argentina. The invoice from La Funeraria to cover Alejandro's transfer expenses is attached below. 

Please help me support his family through this devastating tragedy.

A message from his sister Eli:

Alejandro, through your beautiful energy we will always be connected. Someone has taken your life but your flame will never be extinguished.

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank all of you who are touched by our situation and want to help. I have no words to express how grateful I am to all the people wanting to support us.  It is through generosity such as this that we can bring peace to Alejandro and our family – Eli (Elizabeth Domínguez)

Clarin articulo de Alejandro - en espanol
 

Alejandro era originario de Lanús, una ciudad en la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina y lamentablemente su amada familia no cuenta con los medios necesarios para cubrir los gastos relacionados con su muerte en el extranjero, ni los gastos del funeral.

Ale era un hombre excepcionalmente amable y generoso, amado y respetado por todas las personas cuyas vidas tocó. Tenía una gran pasión por la justicia social y creció ayudando a otros. A través de su delicado pero poderoso arte, e inspirado por su sincero deseo de hacer del mundo un lugar mejor, le devolvió a la comunidad muchos proyectos locales de arte y murales.

Por favor, apóyenme para poder ayudar a su familia a atravesar esta devastadora tragedia. Todos los fondos irán directamente a su familia en Argentina.

Alejandro, a través de tu hermosa energía siempre estaremos conectados. Alguien te ha quitado la vida, pero tu llama nunca se extinguirá.

Desde lo más profundo de nuestros corazones, les agradecemos a todos ustedes que se conmuevan por nuestra situación y quieran ayudarnos. No tengo palabras para expresar cuán agradecida estoy a todas las personas que desean apoyarnos. Es a través de esta generosidad que podremos traer paz a Alejandro y a nuestra familia - Eli (Elizabeth Domínguez)
