Chris is raising funds for Marlene Gomez Cabrera, his mom, after losing her far too soon to interstitial lung disease. Marlene spent three weeks straight in the hospital, needing so much medication and constant oxygen just to keep fighting. Watching someone so deeply loved go through that was painful enough, and now her family is carrying the weight of the hospital bills left behind. In the middle of their grief, they also learned that a full funeral would cost close to $30,000, making an already heartbreaking time feel even more overwhelming.
Chris and his brother are both in college and doing their best to keep up with their own responsibilities, but they want to be clear that this fundraiser is only for their mom. They are not asking for help for themselves or for school. They only want to give Marlene the beautiful, loving farewell she deserves and help cover the hospital expenses tied to her final weeks. Any donation or share would mean so much to their family during this time. Thank you for helping honor Marlene Gomez Cabrera’s memory and for showing kindness, love, and support as her family says goodbye.
