Help Us Give Elmer Bonilla a Proper Farewell

Donation protected
Our beloved Elmer Bonilla recently passed on September 3rd, 2024. Elmer was a wonderful father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend who touched the lives of those around him. He leaves behind his 3 sons and 2 daughters, Elmer Bonilla Jr., Christian Bonilla, Michael Bonilla, Josselyn Bonilla, and Gisselle Bonilla.

A message from Elmer's daughter, Gisselle:

My father dedicated his life to his kids. He always worked hard and did what he could to make sure we were taken care of. For those who knew my father knew what a bright amazing soul he had and how much he loved making everyone happy. He has always been our greatest motivation. He will be remembered as someone who loved to dance and lived his life to the fullest. He was an amazing man and the best father we could ever ask for.

He was a healthy man for his age, so we are devastated and shocked by his sudden passing and were clearly not prepared for what's to come. We want to give our father the memorial services he deserves to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes.

Given the high costs of a funeral/memorial service we are seeking donations to help cover the costs of these services. In order to bring him back home and have a proper funeral service we need to raise $20,000 by September 11th, 2024. Any donation amount will help and will be greatly appreciated by our family.
Thank you for all your support during this difficult time.

Sincerely,
Gisselle Bonilla
