Send Santos Escobar back home

Donation protected
Santos was a vibrant, humble and friendly 16 year old boy from El Salvador who's dreams of being in the US with his father came true last year, he enrolled in Gaithersburg High and helped his family by working a little part time at a local Restaurant called Sardi's. He was learning english and he wanted to go to college. On 6/2/16 he was struck and killed by a car as he was riding his bike after school, his family and friends are trying to raise money to send him back to El Salvador to put his body to rest in the country that he loved and missed, but his family has little resources and the funeral services and flight back are expensive. Please help his family in this time of need and pain.

Santos era un chico vibrante, humilde y amistoso de 16 anos de El Salvador, quien vino hace un ano con los suenos de estar con su padre en este pais y superarse, se inscribio en la Preparatoria de Gaithersburg y ayudaba a su familia con trabajito de medio tiempo en un restaurante local llamado Sardi's. Estaba aprendiendo  ingles y queria ir a la universidad. El dia 2 de Junio de 2016, cuando se dirigia de la Escuela a su casa fue arrollado por un vehiculo y fallecio al instante.
Su familia y amigos queremos mandar su cuerpo a descansar a su pais que tanto amaba y extranaba cerca de su familia, pero el servicio funeral y vuelo son extremadamente caros y necesitan tu ayuda para lograrlo.

The funds will be transfered to Francisco thru Melesio Escobar (his uncle) so they can pay for the funeral arrangments here is MD and send what is left to his grieving mother in El Salvador and have him buried in Corinto, Morazan his native town.

Los fondos seran transferidos a Francisco a travez de su tio Melesio Escobar, para que puedan pagar los arreglos funerales aca en Maryland y mandar el resto a su madre en El Salvador para que ella pueda darle sepultura en su pueblo Corintos, Morazan.
