Help Fulfill My Father’s Last Wish: A Journey to Argentina

On May 12, 2017, I lost my dad to a sudden aortic dissection in Orange County, California. Since his passing, I’ve been dealing with a severe back injury, which has made it difficult for me to work consistently. Due to financial hardships, I haven’t been able to fulfill my dad’s final wish: to have his ashes returned to his birthplace, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

His ashes have been in storage since his cremation, and I deeply desire to honor him by taking him home. My wife, who works full-time as a preschool director, is the sole provider for our family, while my two sons are full-time students. Christmas is the only time my wife has two weeks off, which gives us a unique opportunity to finally fulfill this important wish.

I’m reaching out for help to cover the costs of this journey, so I can take my dad’s ashes back to Argentina and say a proper goodbye, just as he would have wanted. Your support will mean the world to our family as we honor his memory and bring him home. Any donation, regardless of size, will help us make this heartfelt trip to fulfill his last wish.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
