Greg and Jeanette Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Help Jeanette lay her father to rest with the dignity they deserve and the ability to handle her financial matters in these critical first months. After a long battle with a variety of health issues, Greg Echavarria passed away April 8th at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Torrance. Jeanette's mother passed away when she was five years old and has lived with her father in Redondo Beach. Greg has battled with diabetes and hepatitus for several years and required three times weekly dialysis treatments. These treatments have left the family in desperate financial circumstances.
Jeanette would like to fulfill her father's wishes of having his remains cremated and a simple funeral service at the Veterans Park in Redondo Beach. Veterans Park was a place Greg enjoyed playing as a child, along with taking Jeanette there during her childhood. They both have fond memories there and Jeanette feels it will be a fitting location for the service.
Beyond the funeral Jeanette will be required to find different housing. There will be certain costs associated with moving and upfront costs attached to the new living arrangement. Due to the circumstances of Greg's health, they have been living at a level that required the state to provide assistance. Continuing these programs can take months to sort out. Jeanette does not have that much time. Because of the care her father required, she has fallen behind in her studies at Redondo Union High School. She is a letterman on the cross country and track teams as well. But has not been able to train this season due to caring for her father. She has yet to compete. It has been Greg's life goal to see Jeanette finish high school and earn her college degree to become an independent young woman. With your support, Jeanette will be able to refocus her energies towards her classes and the team.
I have known Greg and Jeanette since she joined our team three years ago. Aside from being a gifted, tough minded runner she has been one of the most respected and liked athletes I have ever coached. Last cross country season Jeanette received the Super Seahawk award given to the team member that has the greatest impact on the team. Her relationship with her father has always being a very loving one. To see them together at meets, knowing what they were going through, has always been a highlight for me as her coach.
Jeanette is alone in her responsibility to handle these affairs and seeks any assistance in lessening her financial burden. Please help her through this very difficult chapter in her young life.
Sincerely,
Bob Leetch
