Funeral Costs for Stephen Gonzalez

In the early morning hours of August 26th, our brother Stephen, who was only 22, was murdered. Our family is suffering inexpressibly right now, and needs to raise funds to cover the costs of burying him as well as planning a memorial for his life in Columbus, Ohio. If the fundraiser exceeds the costs of the arrangements, the money will go to my mother, who will have to take time off work beyond what is covered by bereavement leave and needs support. Whatever exceeds that we will distribute among my six siblings and father, who are also suffering and need time off work. (Most have suffered severe financial hits because of covid already.) If you are able to give or to share, we appreciate it immeasurably.

Thank you,

Elisa Gonzalez
