Day Rodas Funeral and Expenses
Donation protected
Hi my name is Susie Rodas my older sister Day Rodas has passed away and the death still remains unknown. Her body was found in Mulholland highway around 7:45 am Thursday. My family and I went to the police station to file a report on a missing person in hopes she was only missing since she stopped responding to texts and calls. Her boss from work called saying she didnt show up to work so we knew something was wrong. She also had moved back in with us so when she didn't arrive home for two days we knew there was a problem. Once we finished the report I got a call a few hours later from the homicide hotline saying the body they found matched my sisters. They don't know exactly how she died which has been unsettling for my mother, father, my little brother and I. In hopes she would be found alive she was not. She recently started living her life authentically as she came out to friends and family about being a trans woman. She was the most forgiving person who strongly advocated for lgbtq rights. She had so much love for family and friends and she saw the good in everyone. Despite some people treating her with disrespect because she finally started being who she truly was she never disrespected anyone she was too pure and kind to ever treat anyone with disrespect. She was 27 but only six months ago, she started living authentically just for it to be over too soon. After being afraid for 27 years, she only got to live freely without fear for only six months which breaks our hearts. My father and I are the only ones who work and after this tragedy I had to call off a few weeks of work since I don't have the strength to go. So as of right now, we are making less money and my father works at a car wash and during this season where it rains he does not get any hours in.
Thank you so much.
