I’m raising funds for my grandmother’s funeral after her passing. She suffered from sarcoma, and losing her has been deeply painful for our family. 
<br>
<br>
 We are a very small family, and we were very close to her. She was a big part of our lives, and her absence has left a deep space in our family. My father is now depressed as we try to process this loss together. 
<br>
<br>
 Any donation will go toward funeral expenses for her services on the 30th. Support from others would help ease some of the financial burden during this difficult time and allow our family to focus on honoring her memory. 
<br>
<br>
 If you are able to give or share this fundraiser, it would mean so much to us. Thank you for helping my family through this loss.

Funeral Support for My Grandmother

<div>On November 18, 2023, our beloved mother Dolores Padilla faced a heart-wrenching hit-and-run incident, leaving her in critical condition at the ICU in Arrowhead Regional Hospital in Colton, CA. She suffered severe injuries — spinal and rib fractures, lung complications, and orthopedic damage. The driver ran over our mother , she was flung 15 feet , and the driver continued driving and fled the scene. Leaving her for dead. She was laying there for hours and it took a good samaritan to contact 911 to render aid to our mother. Upon the arrest, he shockingly claimed to have thought he “hit a rock” and managed to replace his windshield within two days of the accident. This incident brings to light the dangers faced by vulnerable individuals struggling with homelessness, and in our mother’s case, coupled with severe mental illness.

</div>
<div>Our mom — diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and anxiety — has endured homelessness for most of this year. She has been resistant to accept our help, particularly regarding her mental health and living situation. But as her family, the pain of witnessing her struggle from a distance has always weighed heavily on our hearts. Our worst fears became a reality on that tragic day, and we hope this horrifying accident can shed some light on the dehumanization experienced by those facing homelessness and mental health issues.
</div>

</div>
<div>Our mom endured several physical injuries—fractures in her spine, ribs, legs, and arms, a collapsed lung, and severe internal bleeding. In a time where compassion for the homeless is in short supply, her fight for survival is both heartbreaking and inspiring. We hope this incident can serve as a reflection of society's lack of empathy towards those facing mental health challenges and homelessness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite our mom’s insistence on facing her challenges alone, our family has consistently stood ready to provide support and love whenever she reached out. Now, faced with the severity of her injuries and the increasingly overwhelming medical expenses, we find ourselves in desperate need of assistance.  The costs for her treatment, numerous surgeries, rehabilitation, and potential long-term care, far exceed the limits of her insurance coverage and what our family can collectively provide. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that we will be able to recover any damages from the driver due to the driver’s history and lack of insurance. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We extend our heartfelt gratitude for any support you can offer, appreciating your kindness, acknowledging the humanity behind the struggles, and recognizing the meaningful difference you can make in my mother's life during this critical time. Thank you for being a beacon of compassion and solidarity.

VICTIM OF HIT AND RUN

<div>Joshua was a 15 year old boy who was just starting his life, he had a long future ahead of him but he was taken from us too soon. He had many goals and many passions; one being cars. He was at car takeover on Avalon and 135th street where he was shot twice and left there with no help, not even from his suppose “ friend “ and “ girlfriend “ who was there with him when it happened. He was left there alone fighting for his life until a nurse who lived right in front of where it happened and two girls passing by stopped and helped apply pressure to his wounds. Police and ambulances took over 30 minutes to arrive to the scene and was then taken to St. Francis Hospital in critical condition where they did an emergency surgery but was left with severe wounds. We were then told he was on life support and only a miracle could save him. About an hour later he stopped breathing and doctors weren’t able to do anything more, he was pronounced dead. We can’t believe this happened to such a young boy with a whole life ahead. Joshua was so loved by everyone every where he would go he didn’t deserve to die this way. Please help us give him the funeral he deserves, anything, anything at all helps.
