Funeral Expenses for Victim of Gun Violence

Donation protected
Our beloved LEONIDAS Duran recently passed away July 7th, LEONIDAS was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and wife who touched the lives of those around her. She leaves behind her husband, her two daughters, and her five grandchildren. LEONIDAS dedicated her life to her family and God.

She impacted many peoples lives and helped many people through their struggles with prayer, she had a huge green thumb so she loved taking care of her plants, and she also enjoyed cooking nutritional food for her family, friends, and community.

On July 7th around 6:45 pm leonidas was walking outside her home when she was shot and murdered by her neighbor, who was a heroin user. Upon hearing this, her husband, Rodanin rushed outside and was subsequently shot in the face. He miraculously survived this and was rushed to the hospital. He is still on the road to recovery and will require future surgery to remove the bullet, which is currently lodged behind his jaw.

We are planning to have a viewing for her on July 20th and the burial will be on the following day. This completely senseless act of gun violence has devastated our entire a family and we were not prepared for the cost of the funeral service as well as the medical expenses of her widower. It’s hard asking for help, but any contribution towards this would be immensely appreciated.

Please see below for a rough estimate of the funeral expenses

Funeral arrangements $8,685.00
Plot of land in cementary $4,412.50
Marker (her name goes) $3,095.00
Total 16,192.50
