Supporting Greysi's Family After Tragedy
Donation protected
On April 17, 2025, Greysi Silva Rivas —a beloved wife, devoted mother, cherished grandmother, and hardworking member of our community—was tragically killed by a drunk driver while driving home from her night shift as a janitor around 3am. She was 66 years old.
Greysi was a mother of two and a second mother to her grandson, whom she helped raise with deep love and sacrifice. She worked tirelessly to support her family and was taken from them in the most unjust and heartbreaking way.
The crash occurred when a wrong-way driver, under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, collided head-on with Greysi’s vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was arrested and faces multiple felony charges, including gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
To honor Greysi’s life appropriately and help ease the enormous burden her family now faces, I am personally donating at least $10,000. I am hoping the community is willing to help ensure that finances and these unexpected and undue costs are the last thing her family has to worry about as they begin the long road of grief and healing.
Donations will go directly toward funeral and memorial costs, lost income, and other urgent needs. Out of the goal, about half will go towards funeral and burial costs (I have gotten several local area quotes from funeral homes and cemeteries) and the remainder would be there for unseen costs that dear Greysi supported through her work. Any amount helps—and every gesture shows Greysi’s family that they are not alone in their pain.
If you’re unable to give financially, please consider sharing this campaign to help spread the word.
Thank you for your support,
