Help Lay our Angel Richard to Rest

Donation protected
Warm greetings to you!❤️‍

My name is Anastacia Herrera I am writing on the behalf of Maria Velasco, Julian Velasco, Christoper Weinert & Graciela Nayeli Munoz-Soto.
ALL proceeds will be going directly to Graciela to fund Richard’s funeral expenses.

If you live in Visalia, California or in the Valley you may have heard about the tragic death of Richard Weinert-Soto. He passed away August 24th at 9:26pm.

Richard was only 11 years old. He was the happiest, most loving, and kind boy. He enjoyed singing at his church, talking about God’s love and making his friends and family laugh…However, not many people saw the full picture and what Richard had to go through on a daily basis.
  • Richard was born with both a heart and lung condition. When Richard was born his heart was on the wrong side of his body and it was also flipped backwards…this lead to his 6 successful open heart surgeries.
  • As for his lungs, he had chronic lung failure

”At approximately 5:00pm Visalia PD officers and Visalia Fire personnel were called to Adventure Park on Cypress Avenue for a medical emergency involving a 12-year-old boy who had lost consciousness. The child was taken by ambulance to Kaweah Health” (visaliapd instagram)

…Richard’s heart stopped while enjoying time at Adventure Park…he was having fun, running around…and being a normal kid. His first time of death was at 5:58pm. However his last time of death was 9:26pm. He fought until the end and left many beautiful memories behind. He was a friend to all and we would appreciate any help or assistance to lay our Angel Richard to rest. God Bless You All.
