Zachary Anton Ornelas

Hi, my name is Mickey. I'm fundraising for my sister Bernie (Kuntz) Ornelas. Her son Zachary Ornelas passed away suddenly on July 27, cause of death is unknown, pending autopsy results. Zachary was 34 years old and had suffered from mental health issues for many years. Due to his medical needs, he lived with Bernie. She was his primary caregiver causing some financial hardship. Bernie is on social security and struggling to make ends meet. Because he was not married and was living with his mom, the burial arrangements and costs are left to Bernie. She would like to bring him home to North Dakota to be laid to rest alongside his other family members.

No parent should ever have to bury their child. The unimaginable grief along with the financial worries is more than she can handle. Please consider helping her bring Zach home. funeral arrangements are pending as she is uncertain when she will be able to return to North Dakota
