Support Ulises Hernandez's Final Journey Home

Donation protected
Hello,

My name is Estefania, and my dad Ulises Hernandez passed away a day ago. He will be heavily missed and remembered by his kids, David Hernandez and myself. My father immigrated from Mexico to provide a better life for our family in the early 2000s. I always hoped he would one day be able to return to Mexico to see his loved ones once more and be reunited with family he hasn't seen for decades.

He had diabetes and was making life choices to improve his lifestyle and better himself. He was improving so well and to say it wasn't a complete shock that he passed of natural causes it's still dumbfounding. I am still in disbelief that he is gone. I know life is not guaranteed and any day something could happen to any of us, but I can't believe he passed.

He never got the opportunity to return to Mexico to reunite with his family. For decades, he worked day in and out to provide for my mom, brother, and I. I prayed that one day he would return to Mexico to see his mom and unfortunately, he never got to return in time to see my grandpa alive before him passing two years ago.

Now that my dad has passed, it's only right for his body to be returned to Mexican soil where he is from, his awaiting family is grievingly waiting for his return. I don't have all of the financial means to provide a service in the States and also finance the expense of shipping his body to Mexico to have a funeral and burial.

If any possible donations can be made to help in this dire need, I would very much appreciate it. Anything would help, and if you aren't able to help with a donation, a prayer in his name would be appreciated.

Hola,

Mi nombre es Estefania, y mi papa Ulises Hernandez fallezio hace un dia. Lo extranaremos muchisimo y va ser recordado por sus hijos, David Hernandez y yo. Mi papa imigro a los Estados Unidos en los 2000s para poder ofrecernos un vida mejor y mejor oportunidades. Yo siempre tenia fe que el pudiera tener la oportunidad de regresar a su paiz y reuinirze con familia que tenia decadas sin ver.

El tenia diabetes y estaba haciendo cambios en su vida para mejorar su salud y estar mejor. Realmente el estaba mejorando muy bien y aun no puedo creer que haya fallecido. No puedo comprender que ya no este aqui. Yo se que no tenemos la vida garantizada pero no puedo creer que ya no este.

Es muy triste que nunca pudo regresar a Mexico a reunirse con su familia. Por muchas decadas el trabaja muy duro para apoyar a mi mama, hermano y yo. Yo reze que pudiera un dia regresar para poder ver a su mama y desafortunadamente no pudo regresar a tiempo para poder ver a mi abuelo vivo antes de que falleciera hace dos anos.

Ahora que mi papa ya no esta con nosotros, es solo justo que su cuerpo se regrese a Mexico a su patria donde su familia esta tristemente esperando su regreso. Yo desafortunadamente no tengo todos los recursos para proporcionar un servicio en los Estados Unidos y tambien mandar su cuerpo a Mexico para un funeral y sepultarlo.

Cualquiera donacion que se pueda dar realmente no tengo palabras para explicar lo que significa y cuanto lo aprecio. Si no se puede dar donacion, lo entiendo, pero les pido que hagan una oracion en su nombre por favor.

Mil gracias.
