<div>This Breast Cancer Awareness Month feels much more personal for our family. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeanette has been diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer and is facing an aggressive year of chemotherapy, surgery, and treatment. She is expected to be out of work for at least a year while she fights and heals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeanette is an Army veteran and truly an “I am woman, hear me roar” kind of woman—strong, determined, and always empowering other women. Now it’s our turn to lift her up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeanette and our family also want to say: please get checked. Don’t wait. Early detection matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking our friends, family, and community to rally around her. If you can donate, please do—no amount is too small. Every donation helps ease the financial burden so Jeanette can focus on healing. If you can’t donate, please share her GoFundMe and keep her in your prayers. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jeanette has an army behind her. Now is our time to show up for her. My Family and I are now a part of this community. When you hear the word cancer, there are no words or expressions that comfort or paint a picture of hope at first. My wife is now beginning her journey. She’s the strongest woman I know and for 27 years she has been the air that I breathe. I’m asking for your help to ensure she’s comfortable and worry free while going through surgery and the recovery that lying ahead. Please give if you can, but more importantly please get screened.

 Those who had the privilege of knowing Ashley Avila knew her to be nothing short of sunshine. She was energetic, giving, fiercely loyal, and had an unwavering commitment to being there for those who needed her. Even in the deepest valleys of her own life, she always thought of others.
</div>
<div>
 Ashley was a daughter, sister, and a hardworking single mother. Her two beautiful daughters, Laila (17) and Lia (14), are a perfect reflection of the woman Ashley was. They share her same compassion, grit, and determination and have always risen above their circumstances.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Ashley’s time with us was cut short on Monday, August 24, 2026 in her own home due to domestic violence. She was discovered that evening by her two daughters returning from school. In a matter of hours, these two young women were left without either of their parents.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 While the road ahead for the girls and their family will be long and painful, we want to honor Ashley by remembering her for the love she gave and the values she stood by.
</div>
<div>
 She devoted her entire life to her children.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 No amount of financial support can replace what Laila and Lia have lost, but it can help provide them with stability as they navigate a future they never should have had to face without their parents. Donations will help support their immediate needs, education, living expenses, and the many challenges they will face as they rebuild their lives surrounded by family and loved ones. They will soon be in the permanent care of their grandmother, Ashley’s mother, Angel Apodaca.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Above all, we hope this fundraiser can give Laila and Lia the space to grieve, heal, and continue building their futures without the added burden of financial uncertainty. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping these girls and their family in your prayers means more than you know.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for helping us honor Ashley and supporting her two daughters whom she loved more than anything.

 Con el corazón en la mano, hoy les pedimos su apoyo para mi querido hijo Richy, quien está enfrentando una emergencia médica inesperada.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Actualmente se encuentra hospitalizado y, después de varios estudios, los médicos determinaron que necesita un marcapasos. Esta situación ha sido muy difícil para él y para toda nuestra familia.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Quienes lo conocen saben la gran persona que es: un excelente hombre de familia, muy trabajador, amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar a los demás. Aunque vive en Monterey, nunca ha dejado de estar presente para su familia y amigos. Siempre ha estado ahí cuando alguien lo necesita.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Hoy nos toca a nosotros estar ahí para él. Cualquier donación, por pequeña que sea, ayudará a cubrir los gastos médicos y apoyará a su familia durante este difícil momento. Si no pueden donar, les agradeceríamos muchísimo que compartieran esta campaña.

 With heavy hearts, we are asking for your support today for my dear son Richy, who is facing an unexpected medical emergency. He is currently hospitalized, and after undergoing several tests, doctors have determined that he needs a pacemaker. This situation has been incredibly difficult for him and for our entire family. Those who know him know what a wonderful person he is: an excellent family man—hardworking, kind, and always ready to help others. Although he lives in Monterey, he has never failed to be there for his family and friends; he has always stepped up whenever someone needed him. Now, it is our turn to be there for him. Any donation, no matter how small, will help cover medical expenses and support his family during this challenging time. If you are unable to donate, we would be deeply grateful if you could share this campaign. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers, support, and generosity. Every bit of help makes a difference.

<div>From the Becerra Uribe and extended family, we want to thank you for coming here to support us during a very difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This past Saturday night, our cousin's youngest son, <strong>Guillermo</strong>, was taken in for emergency surgery. Despite the doctors' best efforts he did not make it through.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Memo was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and cousin. He enjoyed his cheese ruffles and found happiness in the smallest things, like twirling leaves and flowers between his little fingers. Despite being non-verbal, Guillermo taught us all to love without words, just through smiles and hugs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for donations to help Abel and Maria lay Guillermo to rest and for hospital expenses. <strong>Anything can help, including a share or a prayer.</strong> Thank you in advance; we love and appreciate you all. May God bless you and your family.

<div>Our family is raising funds to help cover the funeral expenses for our brother, Matthew. He passed away unexpectedly at just 37 years old, leaving our family heartbroken and in shock. <strong>Matthew had a big heart and was always there for those he loved.</strong> He was lyrically gifted and found joy in creating new songs, sharing his music and his warmth with everyone around him. Family meant everything to Matthew, and he cherished every moment spent together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Matthew leaves behind his son, Johnny, who is preparing to graduate from Grizzly Academy. This loss has been incredibly hard on all of us, and we want to give Matthew the farewell he deserves. <strong>The funds raised will help us cover the cost of funeral expenses and all the arrangements needed to send Matthew off with love and dignity.</strong> Any leftover funds will go towards supporting Johnny as he moves forward in life without his father.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are deeply grateful for any support during this difficult time. Your kindness will help us honor Matthew’s memory and provide comfort to his son. Thank you for considering a donation or sharing our story.

<div>Hi everyone. On May 18th, 2026, we lost our family's patriarch, my papa Larry Lee Hemphill. He lived a very long life, absolutely full of adventure and excitement! He passed away in Tucson, AZ, and his last wishes were to have a funeral and be buried here in Lompoc where we will be able to visit him. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div> I'm starting this GoFundMe to help us with the cost of transporting him from Tucson to Lompoc, as well as anything else that isn't covered. <strong>Please help us bring my papa home ♥️</strong> Anything helps, thank you so much in advance. You are so appreciated.

<div><br />

</div>

<div>It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of my beloved brother, Rodrigo. Our family is devastated by this unexpected loss, and we are struggling to process the pain of losing someone who meant so much to all of us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Rodrigo was a loving son, brother, friend, and light in the lives of so many people. He had a kind heart, a beautiful spirit, and a way of making others feel loved and supported. His passing has left an emptiness that words cannot fully describe.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for support to help our family with funeral expenses and other unexpected costs. Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean so much to us and help ease some of the financial burden as we focus on grieving and honoring his memory.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are unable to donate, we completely understand and simply ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and share this page with others.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

</div>

In Loving Memory of Obdulia Fuentes

<div>Our hearts are shattered as we share the loss of our sweet Brandon Dominguez, who was taken from us far too soon in a tragic road-rage incident. There are no words big enough to describe the pain we are feeling. Brandon was the light of our family — our happy, loving boy with the biggest heart, the silliest personality, and a joy that filled every room he entered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brandon wasn’t just a child we loved; he was truly one of a kind. He had a silly, playful spirit that could make any of us smile, and a heart full of pure joy. Whether he was showing us the latest TikTok trends, dancing around the house, or laughing at a new video he found, he always knew how to brighten our days.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He woke up every morning excited for school, eager to learn, and ready to make memories with his friends. He adored playing soccer, diving into his Roblox games, and spending quality time with all of us. Whether he was laughing, sharing stories, or simply sitting close, Brandon made every moment feel special. He had dreams, hopes, and a future we were so excited to watch him grow into.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Losing him has left a hole in our family that can never be filled. As we try to make sense of this unimaginable heartbreak, we are also faced with medical costs, family expenses, and the reality that we need time to mourn and begin healing in whatever small ways we can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We, the family, are raising these funds specifically to help support Brandon’s mother, Rubi Chavarria, as she mourns the loss of her beloved son. Sonia, our sister, will be handling funds for Rubi and the family. No parent should ever have to walk through this kind of pain, and we want to lift as much of the financial burden from her as possible during this devastating time. All contributions made here will be wired directly to Rubi to assist her with expenses and to give her the space she needs to grieve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for support — not because anything can ease the pain, but because removing even a small burden can help us focus on honoring Brandon and holding one another up through the darkest days of our lives. Whatever your heart is able to give means more to us than we can ever express. Every donation, every share, and every prayer brings comfort and reminds us that we are not alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for honoring Brandon’s memory, for loving him with us, and for standing beside our family as we learn how to live in a world without him.
</div>

In Loving Memory of our Sweet Boy, Brandon

<div>With heavy hearts, we ask for your support to honor the life of Juanito — a son, brother, uncle, cousin, and beloved friend who was taken from us too soon.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Juanito was the kind of person who made you feel at home with a big smile, cerveza in hand, and a “¿Qué onda, papas?” He was a hard worker, always finding ways to make things happen and help others along the way.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Above all, he loved his family. Juanito leaves behind his mom, quien siempre trató como su reina, his dad, quien veía como su héroe, and his younger brother, his best friend, whom he was always proud of. Juanito also leaves behind his girlfriend, whom he loved deeply, and with whom he was excited to start building a future full of dreams and love. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Juanito was always making sure everyone was taken care of and had a smile on their face. Though he loved to party, Juanito also loved the ranch life, botas llenas de tierra pero corazón lleno de amor. He was a big guy with an even bigger heart, always saying, “¡Yo te ayudo, mamas!” without a second thought.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, we ask for your support, just like Juanito would’ve given his all if anyone was facing a tough situation. Any donation, no matter how small, will help his family through this incredibly difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Juanito, you’ll be missed forever. Rest in peace. ️

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Support of Cassie and Their Beautiful Family of 7.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating loss of Joseph Medina, lovingly known to so many as “Big Joe / Joe”the heart and soul behind the beloved taco truck, The Birria Boyz.
</div>
<div>Joe was only 32 years young, born on October 27, 1992, with his whole life ahead of him. He was a man full of life, laughter, and love known for his big smile, contagious energy, and golden heart. He was sarcastic and funny, but also deeply kind, generous, and hardworking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joe was a loving partner to Cassie Jennings, his best friend and soulmate. Together, they were inseparable raising their family and running their business side by side. He was a dedicated and proud father to his two daughters, Malia and Aleya, and a caring bonus dad to Franco Jr., Joe, and Adrian. He loved all five kids fiercely and unconditionally.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joe was the founder and mastermind behind The Birria Boyz, a business built from his passion for food, family, and community. His tacos were famous, but even more so was the way he treated people making everyone feel like family. Whether you were a customer, friend, or stranger, Joe welcomed you into his circle with open arms.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He was the backbone and provider for his family of seven, working tirelessly to build a future for his kids and Cassie. Joe also had a deep love for cars, cooking, laughter, and making memories. He touched so many lives and leaves behind a huge community of friends, fans, and loved ones all mourning the loss of such an incredible man.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He leaves behind his loving siblings: Gabe, Lexi, Marizah, and Elias, and his parents Cynthia Loza and Jose Medina.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With the blessing of my sister Cassie, we are starting this GoFundMe to help support Joe’s five children and Cassie during this unimaginable time. Funds will go directly toward funeral expenses, immediate financial needs, and helping them navigate this painful and uncertain chapter ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are kindly asking for any donation you are able to give, and for your continued prayers and love for Cassie, the kids, and our entire family. No amount is too small, and every single share, prayer, and kind word truly means the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s come together for Joe the way he always came through for all of us.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your support,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love,
</div>
<div>The Family of Joseph Medina: Cassie , Jr , &amp; Kali , Joseph , Adrian , Malia and Aleya.

Honoring Joe & Support of his Family

<div>It is with heavy heart that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Alex.  As we navigate through this incredibly difficult time, we are seeking help from friends, family, and kind hearted individuals to give Alex the peaceful farewell he deserves.

</div>

<div>Alex was a loving son, brother, uncle and friend, who was always there for others.  We wish to honor his life in a meaningful way, however the cost of the burial services are more than our family can manage during this time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are hoping to raise enough to cover the funeral and burial expenses.  Every donation, no matter how small will bring us one step closer to saying goodbye in a way that reflects the love we feel for our beloved Alex. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Your support whether through donations, prayers or words of comfort mean more than we can express.

<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><em>Since Kale was first diagnosed, many of you have asked how you can help, and we have previously only asked for your prayers. We are reaching out for help now, and although it has been a difficult decision to humble ourselves and ask, we know how much you all care for us and have wanted to help us all along. </em><strong><em>Your unwavering support, whether through prayer or direct assistance, means the world to us as we navigate this challenging chapter.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our son, Kale, is a courageous and resilient young man who has been fighting an aggressive battle against an optic nerve glioma tumor in his right eye since January 2022. After years of intensive chemotherapy and countless procedures, we are facing the next critical step in his journey: surgery to remove the tumor, which will unfortunately lead to blindness in his right eye.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This surgery is a necessary and challenging decision, offering Kale the best chance to prevent further tumor growth and protect his overall health. However, even with insurance and supplemental cancer policy, the costs associated with his ongoing care have been astronomical, and the upcoming surgery adds another significant financial burden. <strong>We are reaching out to our community for urgent support to help us raise funds to cover existing medical bills and new expenses related to Kale's upcoming surgery and recovery.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Kale's Courageous Journey: A Timeline of Resilience</strong>
</div>
<div>On January 5, 2022, our lives changed forever. What started as a series of routine eye exams for blurred vision quickly escalated to an emergency room visit, an ambulance transfer, and ultimately, the devastating diagnosis of an Aggressive Optic Nerve Glioma at Valley Children's Hospital in Madera, CA.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since that day, Kale has endured an unimaginable journey:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Constant Travel &amp; Treatments</strong>: Our family has spent countless hours and miles traveling between Santa Maria, Madera, Fresno, and Los Angeles for appointments. We've navigated hundreds of miles for:
</li>
<li><strong>Chemotherapy</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Numerous MRIs and Eye Exams</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Multiple blood transfusions</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Surgical Procedures</strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Navigating Setbacks</strong>:
</li>
<li>Emergency room visits for treatment reactions and infections.
</li>
<li>Hair loss and assistance of a walking cane due to side effects.
</li>
<li>Chemotherapy delays due to low blood counts and elevated liver enzymes.
</li>
<li>His tumor grew, shrunk, and then grew again, leading to shifts in treatment plans.
</li>
<li>Severe reactions to multiple medications.
</li>
<li>Lumbar punctures, including a failed attempt and an ER visit for a spinal fluid leak.
</li>
<li>Ongoing denials from insurance companies as we seek treatment approvals.
</li>
<li>Significant out-of-pocket costs for tests deemed "not medically necessary" by our insurance, despite medical recommendations.
</li>
<li><strong>The Hard Reality of Vision Loss</strong>: Despite aggressive treatments, the tumor's impact on Kale's right eye has been profound. We have seen a noticeable decline in his vision, leading to the difficult decision to proceed with surgery to remove the tumor, knowing it would result in permanent blindness in his right eye.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Current Financial Burden and Upcoming Needs</strong>
</div>
<div>Kale's battle has not only taken an immense emotional and physical toll but also a significant financial one. Even before this critical surgery, we are burdened with thousands of dollars in outstanding medical bills. Here's a breakdown of the types of expenses we are currently facing and will continue to face in the months ahead:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Transportation</strong>: The continuous round-trips to specialized hospital locations across California (Madera, Fresno, Los Angeles) and emergency visits have resulted in substantial fuel costs, car maintenance, and wear and tear on the family vehicle.
</li>
<li><strong>Lodging</strong>: Staying in hotels for early morning appointments or overnight stays in the hospital has been a frequent necessity.
</li>
<li><strong>Chemotherapy Co-pays &amp; Deductibles</strong>: While insurance covers a portion, co-pays and deductibles for his extensive and ongoing chemotherapy treatment have accumulated significantly.
</li>
<li><strong>Procedures &amp; Scans</strong>: Each MRI, CT scan, blood test, and specialized eye exam carries its own cost, often with significant out-of-pocket portions or out-of-network costs.
</li>
<li><strong>Anti-Nausea &amp; Other Medications</strong>: Managing the severe side effects of chemotherapy requires additional medications, which add to our out-of-pocket expenses.
</li>
<li><strong>Upcoming Surgery Costs</strong>: The surgery itself, anesthesia, post-operative care, and follow-up appointments will incur substantial new debt.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Ongoing Financial Journey Post-Surgery</strong>
</div>
<div>Even after this critical surgery, our financial burden will continue. We anticipate significant ongoing expenses related to Kale's post-operative care, allowing us to focus on his recovery and emotional well-being rather than mounting bills:
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Continued Transportation</strong>: Regular travel for follow-up appointments will incur ongoing costs for fuel, car maintenance, and vehicle wear and tear.
</li>
<li><strong>Ongoing Lodging</strong>: Overnight stays for early morning appointments, or extended hospital visits will continue to be a recurring expense.
</li>
<li><strong>Post-Operative Medications</strong>: Any new medications required for recovery, pain management, or to address ongoing side effects will add to out-of-pocket costs.
</li>
<li><strong>Potential Therapies</strong>: If occupational therapy, psychological counseling, or other rehabilitative services are recommended for his adjustment to vision loss, these will contribute to the financial burden.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generous contribution will directly impact Kale's ability to receive the care he desperately needs without adding insurmountable financial stress to our family. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every dollar raised will go towards:</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>* Paying off existing medical debt.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>* Helping with the costs of Kale's upcoming surgery.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>* Supporting his essential post-operative care and ongoing needs.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider donating what you can and sharing Kale's story with your network of friends and family. Your support, no matter the size, makes a profound difference in our fight to give Kale a future free from the immediate threat of this tumor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of Kale's journey, and as always, keep praying.
</div>

Help Us Honor a Kind Man's Memory

We are heartbroken to share the sudden passing of our dear friend Jesus Beltran. He was a proud father, a United States Marine, a passionate martial artist, and a motorcycle enthusiast—but more than anything, Jesus was an incredible friend, the kind of person who showed up for you without hesitation.

I’m setting up this fundraiser on behalf of his son Bodhi, his partner Jenna, and Jayleen, who Jesus loved and cared for as his own. We hope to ease the burden of unexpected expenses during this incredibly difficult time. <br /><br />As you can imagine, no one is ever prepared for a loss like this. Our goal is to ensure that Jesus’ closest loved ones are supported and that Bodhi, Jenna, and Jayleen have what they need in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Jesus lived with honor, heart, and humility. He touched countless lives through his loyalty, his strength, and his quiet generosity. Now it’s our turn to give back.

Help Support the Family of Jesus Beltran

<div>In the late fall, <strong>Abraham was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma of the right upper leg.</strong> He started chemotherapy in November, followed by radiation in December. The next step is surgery, likely next month. Thankfully for now, this appears to be localized disease but <strong>timely treatment is essential</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Due to the rarity of this tumor, <strong>he receives his medical care at UCLA</strong>. This means a lot of travel expenses for the family and impacts to work and school, in addition to mounting medical expenses.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Please consider supporting this sweet family and their son/brother Abraham</strong>, who maintains a smile through it all. Whether it be financial or prayers, they appreciate all our support!

</div>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A finales del otoño, <strong>a Abraham le diagnosticaron sarcoma sinovial en la parte superior de la pierna derecha.</strong> Comenzó la quimioterapia en noviembre, seguida de radiación en diciembre. El siguiente paso es la cirugía, probablemente el próximo mes. Afortunadamente, por ahora, parece ser una enfermedad localizada, pero el tratamiento oportuno es esencial.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Debido a la rareza de este tumor, <strong>recibe su atención médica en UCLA. </strong>Esto significa muchos gastos de viaje para la familia e impactos en el trabajo y la escuela, además de crecientes gastos médicos.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Considere apoyar a esta dulce familia y a su hijo/hermano Abraham</strong>, quien mantiene una sonrisa a pesar de todo. Ya sea financiero o de oración, ¡agradecen todo nuestro apoyo!

<div>Our world changed forever when my sister Brianna and her husband David’s beautiful baby boy, Oliver, came into this world on October 25th, 2024. What should have been purely joyful moments turned into worried prayers when doctors discovered a problem with his tiny heart: a blood vessel that hasn't closed, as well as multiple holes in his heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Little Oliver has already shown incredible strength during his two-week stay in Cottage Hospital's NICU. On November 8th, he was then transferred to UCLA Children's Hospital, where he's now receiving specialized care for his heart condition. His brave parents haven't left his side for a moment, putting their jobs and lives on hold to be there for every precious breath.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As his Tia, watching my sister and brother-in-law navigate these scary and uncertain times breaks my heart. The mounting medical bills, daily hospital expenses, and loss of both incomes have created a perfect storm of stress that no parents should face while fighting for their baby's health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're humbly asking for help with:
</div>
<div><strong>Critical NICU and hospital expenses</strong>
</div>
<div>Upcoming heart surgery costs
</div>
<div>UCLA Children's Hospital treatment
</div>
<div>Basic living expenses while parents are out of work
</div>
<div>Future medical care and follow-ups
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference in <strong>Oliver's life</strong> and help alleviate the financial burden on his parents during this challenging time. We promise to keep all donors updated on Oliver’s progress. Your support means the world to us, and we want you to be part of this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and positive thoughts. Together, we can give Oliver the best chance at a healthy future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude and hope,

Help Alex Rivera After Accident

<div>Con gran tristeza y dolor en nuestros corazones, nos despedimos de Don José, quien partió de manera rápida e inesperada. Don José fue un ser humano extraordinario, lleno de espiritualidad y fuertes creencias. Deja atrás a su amada esposa, tres hijas, y su hijo amado, quienes ahora enfrentan un momento difícil.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Don José era un apasionado de la música, los carros, el escribir música y especialmente de sus guitarras y sus acústicos, con los que compartía su amor por la vida y la humanidad. Su corazón estaba lleno de esperanza por un mundo mejor, un mundo donde todos pudiéramos ser más humanos, más tolerantes y menos materialistas. Su visión era la de una humanidad viviendo en armonía, amor y paz, dejando atrás la maldad y el egoísmo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Su amor por la lectura, la historia, y su profunda conexión espiritual, lo llevaron a creer que en vidas pasadas había vivido en Italia, un lugar que siempre consideró cercano a su alma. Don José fue un ejemplo de moralidad y bondad, y nos enseñó con su vida lo que significa ser un mejor ser humano.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy, creemos firmemente que Don José se encuentra en un lugar de luz, junto al creador al que tanto amaba, disfrutando de la paz y la serenidad que siempre deseó para todos nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Te pedimos tu apoyo para darle el adiós que se merece. Cualquier contribución será de gran ayuda para cubrir los gastos del funeral y aliviar un poco la carga económica que esta inesperada pérdida ha traído a su familia. Agradecemos de corazón todo el amor, las oraciones y las buenas energías que puedas enviar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por ayudarnos a honrar la memoria de Don José y por mantener vivo su espíritu de amor y bondad en estos momentos tan difíciles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**********************************************
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With great sadness and pain in our hearts, we said goodbye to Don José, who left quickly and unexpectedly. Don José was an extraordinary human being, full of spirituality and strong beliefs. He leaves behind his beloved wife, three daughters, and his beloved son, who are now facing a difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Don José was passionate about music, cars, writing music and especially his guitars and acoustics, with which he shared his love for life and humanity. His heart was full of hope for a better world, a world where we could all be more human, more tolerant and less materialistic. His vision was of humanity living in harmony, love and peace, leaving behind evil and selfishness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His love of reading, history, and his deep spiritual connection led him to believe that in past lives he had lived in Italy, a place he always considered close to his soul. Don José was an example of morality and kindness, and he taught us with his life what it means to be a better human being.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, we firmly believe that Don José is in a place of light, next to the creator he loved so much, enjoying the peace and serenity that he always wanted for all of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We ask for your support to give him the goodbye he deserves. Any contribution will be a great help to cover funeral expenses and alleviate some of the financial burden that this unexpected loss has brought to his family. We sincerely appreciate all the love, prayers and good energy you can send.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us honor the memory of Don José and for keeping his spirit of love and kindness alive in these difficult times.

En Memoria a Don José B. Rios, Honrar su Legado y Despedida

<div>Familiares, Amigos y comunidad con el corazón destrozado les informamos que nuestra madre Anita Figueroa de Carachure desafortunadamente perdió la última lucha de su vida contra el cáncer el 04 de agosto a los 79 años. Desde octubre de 2023 venía luchando contra el cáncer en los ganglios y pulmones pero desgraciadamente tuvo una fuerte pulmonía que hizo que dejaran de hacerle las quimioterapias y el cáncer invadió todo su cuerpo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nacida en Corral Falso, GRO, Anita Carachure se movio a los Estados Unidos en 1988 con sus cinco hijos y una hija, en busca de una vida mejor. Como madre, enfrentó los desafíos con resiliencia y determinación, esforzándose siempre por aprovechar al máximo sus circunstancias. Su profunda fe católica le ofreció fortaleza y gratitud, guiándola a través de las dificultades y ayudándola a valorar cada bendición.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como abuela, Anita era cálida y afectuosa. Sus nietos recuerdan con cariño sus cariñosos abrazos y las lágrimas de alegría que derramaba cada vez que la visitaban. Anita también era un alma creativa. Hacía adornos para fiestas, tejia, aprendía a peinar, arreglaba flores y tenía un profundo amor por las plantas. Conocida por su respeto y amabilidad, siempre despedía a los visitantes con una sincera bendición para garantizar su regreso seguro a casa.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Después de quince años separada de su marido, ahora se reunió con él el mismo mes que él falleció. Esperamos que ambos estéis descansando juntos en paz y cuidándonos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Le sobreviven sus seis hijos y quince nietos que la quieren mucho.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con el corazón destrozado y con mucha pena nos encontramos en la difícil situación de cubrir los gastos funerales y trasladarla a Guerrero - el lugar donde nació y creció. Ella siempre tuvo la esperanza de regresar donde descansa nuestro abuelo/padre y su madre. Este era su último deseo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Cualquier contribución, sin importar el monto, será de gran ayuda para alcanzar nuestro objetivo y brindarle a nuestra abuela/madre el descanso eterno que merece. Agradecemos de todo corazón su generosidad y sus oraciones en este momento tan difícil.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De antemano bendiciones y muchas gracias

<div>On Sunday, January 28, 2024 Celia Torres unexpectedly passed away. Celia was an amazing mom to her nine year old son Breeze and has raised him completely on her own. They were the funniest duo. She was such a fun and easy person to be around. We are all devastated by the loss of Celia and we are going to miss her so much. I am currently asking for donations to help cover the cost of Celia’s memorial and Breeze’s expenses. Any help is greatly appreciated.

</div>
<div>He leaves behind a grieving mother, father, several siblings &amp; step siblings. Angel is from two large families who have strong roots in Santa Barbara who will be connected forever. Angel built relationships with everyone as he was charismatic, funny, attentive &amp; generous.

Angel leaves behind friends &amp; communities he bonded with - through school, sports, recovery &amp; family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will miss his smile, his laughter, his silliness, his hugs &amp; his determination.
