Easing Funeral Costs for Cristobal Arriola

Donation protected






On August 28,2024 my wife's family lost a great soul. Cristobal (Lito) Arriola was a husband, father, brother grandfather, uncle, and father in-law. His passing was a time we all knew would come but, as with any family member you never want them to leave and have to say goodbye.

El 28 de agosto de 2024, la familia de mi esposa perdió una gran alma ,Cristóbal (Lito) Arriola era esposo, padre, hermano abuelo, tío y suegro. Su fallecimiento fue un momento en el que todos sabíamos que llegaría, pero, como con cualquier miembro de la familia, nunca quieres que se vayan y tengan que decir adiós.

In March 2023 he suffered a stroke in which his left side was completely paralyzed. If you knew him you would know he was never one to depend on someone, but from March on he had no choice. Many family and friends helped my mother in-law Isabel in caring for him.

En marzo de 2023 sufrió un derrame cerebral en el que su lado izquierdo quedó completamente paralizado. Si lo hubieras conocido sabrías que nunca fue de los que dependían de alguien, pero a partir de marzo no tuvo otra opción. Muchos familiares y amigos ayudaron a mi suegra Isabel a cuidarlo.

He fought a good fight until his body couldn't fight anymore. His wish was to originally retire in his home country of El Salvador and be laid to rest with his mom. Unfortunately, he never got to fulfill his dreams, but his wife and kids are respecting his wishes and are bringing him home to be laid to rest.

Peleó una buena batalla hasta que su cuerpo no pudo luchar más. Su deseo era originalmente retirarse en su país de origen, El Salvador, y ser sepultado con su madre. Desafortunadamente, nunca llegó a cumplir sus sueños, pero su esposa e hijos están respetando sus deseos y lo están trayendo a casa para que pueda ser sepultado .

It has not been easy journey to make this happen. They have hit many bricks walls and expenses are adding up from funeral, shipment of his body, extending flights (due to promised shipping to finally getting a confirmation of his arrival). He will finally arrive to his family and be laid to rest with his mom and nephew on September 28,2024 in Santa Elena, El Salvador.

No ha sido un viaje fácil hacer que esto suceda. En la travesía han encontrado muchos obstáculos y los gastos se están sumando desde el funeral, el envío de su cuerpo, la extensión de los vuelos (debido al envío prometido para finalmente obtener una confirmación de su llegada). Finalmente llegará a su familia y será puesto a descansar con su madre y su sobrino el 28 de septiembre de 2024 en Santa Elena, El Salvador.

I am setting this GoFundMe up for them all to help ease some of the expenses from medical bills to funeral costs. Any donations would help the family during this difficult time.

Estoy creando este GoFundMe para ellos ,para ayudar a aliviar algunos de los gastos, desde las facturas médicas hasta los costos funerarios. Cualquier donación ayudaría a la familia durante este momento difícil.
