Dear Friends, Family, and Kindhearted Strangers,
I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my beloved grandmother, Esther Bolaños. At 74 years old, my grandma is a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend—someone who has always given so much of herself to others. She is the heart of our family, the person who never hesitated to lend a helping hand, offer a warm meal, or share her love unconditionally.
Tragically, her life was forever changed due to a reckless and preventable act. A drunk driver’s careless decision caused a devastating accident that left my grandmother unable to walk, move her legs, and has minimal usage of her arms. Once an active and independent woman, she is now bedridden, enduring unbearable pain, and fighting for her life. Our family has been shattered by this tragedy, and every day we watch someone we love dearly suffer in ways no one should ever have to endure.
On top of our immense grief, we are facing overwhelming medical expenses, caregiving costs, and financial burdens that we never could have anticipated. My grandmother requires constant medical attention, specialized care, and support that stretches far beyond what our family can handle alone.
We cannot change what has happened, but we can come together as a community to show my grandmother the love and support she so deserves. Any contribution—no matter how small—will go toward covering her medical expenses, ensuring she receives the care she needs, and her eventual burial, easing the financial strain on our family during this incredibly difficult time.
If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this fundraiser and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness, generosity, and support mean the world to us.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
With love and gratitude,
The Bolaños Family
