Support For Rina Lopez

Asking for help is hard for everyone, but it’s most difficult in times of truly needing it. This fundraiser is an attempt to come together as a community of loved ones determined to find as many avenues of support for Rina as possible.

Rina has spent the last few years not only being a self-employed business owner,  sister, daughter, partner, and friend; but she has also taken on the incredible responsibility of caretaker to her late parents and fiancé. 

To know Rina is to experience her beautiful heart, her extra-mile kind of love, and her playful personality. Watching her suffer so much loss in such a short period of time has been a helpless feeling for her people. Loss of this gravity would sideline anyone, but she has shown so much fortitude and resilience in the face of what has been the most turbulent two years of her life. Now it's our turn to care for her.

We are reaching out to her close circle, her clients, her friends, and anyone else who feels it in their soul to help us lift some of the financial pressures off of her while she navigates through this period of needed respite. Handling the tsunami of overwhelming decisions that follow the death of a loved one requires time. Fortunately, Vito's family is helming the funeral arrangements, but going from a two-income household to a single one as a self-employed individual means there is no ability to take any needed time off for bereavement, unless there is a bit of a financial cushion.

Community strength is the lifeblood of grief, and together we can stay steadfast for Rina through this unprecedented time. If you want to aid her in other ways, and cannot donate funds, please reach out and let us know.

Thank you so much.

“May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.”
