Raising Funds for Funeral and Bills for a friend
Donation protected
Last Sunday Aug 9th there was a fatal accident in River Forest, IL where unfortunately 4 young people died. A 21 year old, 2-20 year old, and a 19 yr old. The only survivor was the driver, he was hospitalized. Parents should never experience the pain of their kids being gone! and my heart is broken thinking of all of the parents what they are going through with this.
There were 2 brothers in the accident, the driver that survived named Betsaid and the 21yr old that died, his name was Christian, RIP. They are the sons of an employee of mine, Clemente, originally from Mexico. Mark and I are trying to help him raised money to help him with all the bills that an accident like this causes, as you can imagine there is hospital bills, paperwork bills, and funeral expenses, among other things.
I want to help, because 20 years ago, my family went through a very similar painful experience, where my cousin Rodrigo died in an car accident, the day of the accident, he turned 21. I know first hand, not as a mother, but as a cousin to see how my family and I went through one of the toughest times that we could have ever experienced. The pain was unbearable for many of my family for many years after he passed. I also know how costly were the funeral expenses, and what is involved in a fatal accident. I know how my employee's heart is destroyed, and that he has to keep going to be able to keep working, and to keep the rest of his family together through this very painful time. I know that when my cousin passed away, there was many people that extended their help to my family, which comforts you so much "in a way".
With my heart in my hands, Mark and I are asking you for your help, so we can help him in any way, and try to make his pain at least free of worrying of what he has to do to pay expenses involving the accident. He already has enough on his shoulders right now, to bear the loss of his son, which by the way he also left a 2 year old behind.
Any help you can give, will help this family! Our heart and and soul will be grateful for any assistance you can give.
