Fulfilling my grandfather's final wish

Donation protected
For all those who have donated to my grandfather's last wish. We appreciate you and May you continue to be blessed.

Hi we're the Mercado and Collazo, we're reaching with a heavy heart to share the heartbreaking news of my beloved grandfather's Jose Mercado passing. On July 18th, 2023, he suffered a sudden heart attack. As we mourn the loss of this incredible man, who was a selfless, compassionate soul. We are determined to honor his memory by fulfilling his last wish – lay him to rest in his cherished homeland, Dominican Republic.

Unfortunately, fulfilling this wish has become a financial burden for our family including his loving wife of 60 years.

We are pooling together all the resources we have, but it is simply not going to be enough by Aug/ 5/ 2023.
Your contribution made, no matter the amount, will make a significant difference for our family.

Please help us come together and fulfill my grandfather's final wish by Aug/ 5/ 2023, ensuring his journey back home.

With heartfelt appreciation, Please do not hesitate to share our campaign with others.

Mercado, Collazo & Castillo family
