Hello my name is Silvia Benito I am raising funds for my stepdad Victorino Cantu Reyes that passed away sunday december 1, 2024, due to a heart attack. Victor was a very kind person he was always watching out for others and always thinking about others before him he had a heart of gold. He was a hard working man and he always took care of all of us my mother and two children ages 9and 6 as well as my mothers other grandchildren as if they were his own children he would always say that we were his family too even though his family was in mexico . On that friday morning 11/29 he went to work, he started feeling sick when he got his first break so he went to sit down in the car and that's were he died for 17 min until the paramedics got there and his brain was without oxygen for that long what caused his irreversible brain damage. They took him to hanford hospital where later he was airlifted to visalia hospital where then doctors told us that there was nothing else that could be done that he was just alive with the machine. Sunday 12/01 they disconnected him leaving us with a broken heart , shock , grief and wondering why this happened suddenly, He was 42 years old with alot of life to live. We are asking for your help so we can cover all funeral expenses and give him the right bural as we did not have life insurance. We would like to send him back to Hidalgo, Mexico where he was from to be laid to rest. Victorino mother and father, brother and sister haven't seen him in over 16 years, Expenses will also cover sending his body to mexico, If you can help us with anything you can or with just a prayer we will be very grateful.

Hola mi nombre es Silvia Benito estoy recaudando fondos para mi padrastro Victorino Cantu Reyes quien fallecio el pasado domingo 1 de diciembre del 2024 a cause de un atake al corazon. Victor era una gran persona, era una persona muy buena siempre pensando en los demas antes que el mismo y cuidando de todos. El tenia un corazon de oro. El era un hombre muy trabajador y siempre cuidaba de nosotros y de mi mama como sus probios hijos y tambien sus nietos siempre decia que nosotros eramos su familia. Ese viernes en la mañana 11/29 Victor salio hacia su trabajo como todos los dias alli en el trabajo despues de su primer break se empeso a sentir mal entonces el pidio permiso para ir a sentarse un rato en el carro hasta que se le pasara y alli fue donde cayo muerto, le pego un atake al corazon masivo y murio por 17 min hasta que llego la ambulancia. Eso causo que el oxigeno ya no llegara a su cerebro el cual causo un daño irreversible. Lo llevaron al hospital de hanford donde despues lo tuvieron que llevar de emergencia con el elicoptero al hospital de visalia y alli fue donde nos dijieron que ya no habia nada mas que hacer que el daño era demasiado y que el ya no regresaria. El estuvo con la maquina hasta el dia domingo cuando le descolectaron todo y despues fallecio dejandonos con un inmenso dolor. Nos dejo pensando porque le paso esto a el si solo tenia 42 añios de edad y toda una vida por delante. Estamos pidiendo de su ayuda para poder cubrir sus gastos funebres y su entierro. Ya que lo llevaremos para Hidalgo, Mexico de donde el es originario para que su familia su hermano, su hermana, y sus padres puedan verlo una ultima vez ya que nunca lo vieron hasta ahora 16 añios despues y bajo estas lamentables circumstansias. Cualquier ayuda sera agradesida y de mucha ayuda, o alguna oracion tambien se le agradece.
