Help Us Honor Mimi's Final Wish

Donation protected
Dear family, friends, and supporters

It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that I share these news. On Wednesday, July 31st Elvira Artola Espinosa but also know as “Mimi” by the ones who loved and adored her unexpectedly passed away, this has left our family distraught and heartbroken.

Mimi was a beautiful soul who made anyone instantly feel loved, her warmth was felt just by a touch of hers, she made you feel seen, heard, and cared for. She always put everyone else first before herself, her kindness always shined through. With her 94 years of life on this earth she touched many hearts, she will always remain unforgettable in many of our hearts, she was truly an amazing example of a great person.




As we lay her to rest a tragedy like this is never to be expected with her last wishes of wanting to be rested where she was born, Nicaragua. We want nothing more to grant this last farewell to this sweet soul that has given so much love and joy in peoples life. It is with a heavy heart that I turn to you for help. Your generosity can make a world of difference in this time of need. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us give my grandmother the dignified farewell she deserves and provide some financial relief to our grieving family.

  • These funds will be used for her funeral expenses and viewing here in the states and also for her travel to Nicaragua and funeral expenses there as well.

Please, if you can, contribute or share this fundraiser. Your support, thoughts, and prayers mean everything to us during this heartbreaking time.

With heartfelt thanks,
The Rivas Family








Queridos familiares, amigos, y apoyadores

Es con gran pesar que escribo este mensaje. El miércoles 31 de Julio falleció inesperadamente nuestra querida abuelita Elvira Artola Espinosa, también conocida como “Mimi” por quienes la amaban, esto ha dejado a nuestra familia consternada y desconsolada.

Mimi era una alma hermosa que hacía que cualquiera se sintiera amado al instante, su calidez se sentía con solo un toque suyo, te hacía sentir vista, escuchada y cuidada. Ella siempre puso a todos los demás en primer lugar antes que a ella misma, su amabilidad siempre se destacó. Con sus 94 años de vida en esta tierra tocó muchos corazones, siempre quedará inolvidable en muchos de nuestros corazones, realmente fue un asombroso ejemplo de una gran persona.




Mientras la sepultamos nunca se puede esperar una tragedia como esta con sus últimos deseos de querer descansar donde nació, Nicaragua. No queremos más que dar este último adiós a esta dulce alma que tanto amor y alegría ha dado en la vida de las personas. Con gran pesar acudo a ustedes en busca de ayuda. Su generosidad puede marcar una gran diferencia en este momento de necesidad. Cada contribución, por pequeña que sea, nos ayudará a darle a mi abuela la despedida digna que se merece y brindará algún alivio financiero a nuestra afligida familia.

Por favor, si puedes, contribuyir o compartir esta recaudación de fondos. Su apoyo, pensamientos y oraciones significan todo para nosotros durante este momento desgarrador.

Con todo mi agradecimiento,
La Familia Rivas
