Israel Espana Family

On November 2, 2018, the Espana family suffered the tragic and unexpected loss of Israel Espana after a violent storm collapsed the building where he was working. Israel leaves behind his wife, Fatima Parada-Espana and his three young boys Daniel (age 10), Nikolas (age 7), Thiago (age 5), and countless friends.

Israel was a good man. He loved his wife, his family and friends. He was a kind person who always had a smile on his face. Israel was a hard worker but he always found time to watch his kids play soccer. He longed one day to return to Santa Cruz -Bolivia  to visit his parents and childhood friends, to share a Pacenita, his favorite beer, and to enjoy the carnaval party. He loved life. He was a great cook and took pleasure in grilling churrasco for his friends and family. Israel worked hard to provide the very best for his children so that they could have a good life and education. 

This page has been created by the friends of Israel and Fatima Parada Espana. The funds collected through gofundme will help honor Israel's memory and provide a measure of comfort and support for Fatima, Daniel, Nikolas, and Thiago as they move forward.

All funds raised in this campaign shall go directly to Fatima for her to use as needed for the family.
