Help the Cruz children after the loss of their mom

Christina Cruz, a beautiful woman who is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, Nina, niece, cousin, best friend, and an amazing human passed away at the age of 40 years young. She leaves behind her husband, Blas Cruz who she was with for over 20 years and their 4 children (Xzavier 8 years old, Alonzo 7 years old , Santino 5 years old, and Celina 2 years old). Christina fought a long hard battle since the age of 18 when she was first diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. She went into remission after a stem cell transplant and had been in remission for over 15 years. She lived a beautiful life during those years being a wife and mother, the two things she took the most pride in. Sadly the radiation treatments from her cancer caused long term effects on her lungs. Her lungs worsened over the years and the last two and a half years she was in and out of the hospital and living with the support of 24/7 oxygen. The last few months her health declined more and she had to stay in the hospital. She fought so hard and did whatever she could to get better. She was working on getting stronger to prove she was strong enough for a lung transplant. Friday, August 12th she proved to everyone how strong she was and the medical teams agreed, she was strong enough to survive a lung transplant. We were all so proud of her and had so much hope for the future. She was transferred to UCLA Sunday, August 14th so she could be ready for the transplant surgery whenever they had a match for her since the surgeons at UCLA would be the ones performing the transplant. She was determined to fight so she could be there to raise her kids. She never gave up, but unfortunately her body gave out before she was able to get a lung transplant. Christina passed away on the night of Thursday, August 18th. This is a devastating loss. Please consider donating if you are able. Anything is genuinely appreciated. The money will be used to help with the medical bills and to help support her children for the future. Please keep her children and family in your prayers.
