Help for Kevin Maldonado Escobar's Funeral
Donation protected
(English translation to follow...)
Kevin, el hijo de Dina y Juan, tenía 18 años. Era amado por quienes lo conocían y ha muerto trágicamente en un viaje a Estados Unidos, para reencontrarse con sus padres después de 16 años.
Los padres de Kevin esperaban con ansias esta reunión después de 16 años, pero en cambio recibieron la llamada que todos los padres temen. Kevin fue encontrado inconsciente por la policía estatal y murió camino al hospital.
Acababa de graduarse de una escuela secundaria cristiana en Guatemala, donde era un talentoso percusionista en la banda de música. Kevin era amable, divertido y traía calidez, sonrisa y risa con él, dondequiera que fuera.
Kevin se inspiró en su abuelo, un carpintero con el que vivía, para apreciar el trabajo con las manos.
Su sueño era dar un gran abrazo a sus padres, reunirse con su familia y perseguir sus ambiciones de abrir un taller de mecánica automotriz, en parte inspirado por su abuelo.
La urgencia es primordial debido al próximo funeral en Houston TX y las complicaciones de transportar todo el cuerpo de Kevin a nivel internacional.
Los fondos son necesarios para los gastos del funeral y el transporte internacional final, de todo el cuerpo y ataúd de Kevin, desde Houston TX a Guatemala.
Los padres de Kevin estarán a cargo de estos gastos, pero necesitamos su ayuda para llevarlo a Guatemala, donde sus abuelos pueden llevarlo a su lugar de descanso final.
Necesitamos y agradecemos cualquier ayuda y gracias.

Dina and Juan's son Kevin was an 18 year old kid. He was loved by those who knew him and had died tragically on a trip to the United States, to reunite with his parents after 16 years.
Kevin's parents were looking forward to this reunion after 16 years, but instead received the call that all parents dread. Kevin was found unconscious by the state police and died on the way to the hospital.
He had just graduated from a Christian high school in Guatemala, where he was a talented percussionist in the marching band. Kevin was kind, funny, and brought a warmth, smile, and laughter with him, wherever he went.
Kevin took inspiration from his grandfather, a carpenter whom he lived with, to appreciate working with his hands.
His dream was to give his parents a big hug, reunite with his family, and pursue his ambitions of opening an auto mechanic shop, in part inspired by his grandfather.
The urgency is paramount due to the upcoming funeral in Houston TX and the complications of transporting Kevin's whole body internationally.
The funds are needed for funeral expenses and final international transportation, of Kevin's whole body and casket, from Houston TX to Guatemala.
Kevin's parents will be in charge of these expenses but we need your help to get him to Guatemala where his grandparents can lay him to his final resting place.
We need and appreciate any and all help and thank you.
