Support Eduardo Aravena's Family in Their Loss

Hi, this is from the family of Eduardo Alfredo Aravena Contreras. I am looking to get any kind of support for the family. Eduardo's death has been very hard on the family...

I never thought that I would be creating a go fund me. Specially a go fund me for my daddy, the half of my heart! What can I say about my papito, he was a military man, a chess player, a professional boxer, an electrician but best of all the best human I have ever met in this world. He was kind and his empathy made him extra special together with his funny side. I called him my little Einstein, because there was nothing my daddy didn’t know about. He loved to learn new things, specially about astronomy and medicine. I had the pleasure to be by his side for 52 years of my life. He fought the fight against his heart, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hydrocephalus, pain , surgeries, procedures, pain and so much more. I was by his side every second of every prick and pain. He was by my side for everything in my life as well.

Now we are asking for grace not only from God but from friends and families to give my papito the best burial. Not the burial we want because he deserved the best but the one we are trying to afford. My brother is the only person who has an income. Cemetery alone is $23,000 and $8,401 for the coffin and all the fees they include. My family and my papito would really appreciate any donation because I know it would come from kindness and love. Thank you in advance for your support. God bless you always

Your pain in your heart is felt.

The emptiness in your heart will heal.

As he looks down into your eyes,

He asks you to not cry.

As he stands beside you hand by hand,

Letting you know he’s okay.

Wiping the tears off your face,

Telling you he’s in a better place.

Daughter, he says to you,

Smile, it’s going to be okay.

Take care of your mom.

For me, give her a kiss.

Hug her tight and let her know I’m alright.
