Tax deductible
Hello all,

My name is Daniela Cabral, and I'm the aunt of Rachel Ortiz. 

As some of you may already know, our family is grieving the loss of our sassy little girl Rachel Ortiz.  Her untimely departure has left us heartbroken, speechless, with a mix of a million other emotions.  We are thankful for all the thoughts and prayers from all our friends and family.  This is a wound that will never heal and we will have to learn to live with. 

When Rachel became ill, she was transported to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.  There is no doubt, that they did everything they could to save her.  In addition, the nurses and doctors at the hospital were very attentive, patient, and understanding with her parents and the rest of her family.  They provided a trained professional to help break the news to the other children.  The quality of care provided by these medical professionals was no less than superb. Unfortunately,  Rachel lost her battle with diabetes (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) on Sept. 7, 2020.

The family would like to honor Rachel by making a donation to the CHLA. The family would also like to especially thank the CHLA PICU department, and especially her Nurse Laura.  During our four day stay did we realize how we forget that people are faced with unfortunate events and circumstances every day. We weren't the only family in the waiting room fighting tears.  While we are out and about, there are innocent children in the hospital, fighting for their lives.  The staff of medical professionals at CHLA are doing God's work by helping save these babies.   By donating, we can help take care of more children on Rachel's behalf and memory. 

If you would like to make an additional donation in her memory, please donate to the American Diabetes Association.  Click the link below.
