I brought my mother to live with me in the hope of finding proper medical care and a chance for healing. As she was suffering from a serious liver condition. We believed that being here would give her an opportunity to recieve the treatment desperately needed.

Sadly, life took a different and devastating turn. Due to a lack of car3 and attention from both UCLA and LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY MEDICAL institutions, my beloved mother passed away while under their care. Watching her suffer, feeling powerless, and seeing her deprived of the most valuable gift of all -her life- is a pain that stay with me forever. My mother was a resident of another country, and now in the midst of grief, my sister and I are faced with the responsability of repatriating her body so she can laid to rest in her natal country. We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer during this incredibly difficult moment in our lives. Thank you in advance for your kindness, generosity, and compassion.

With gratitude,

Alejandro Martinez and Claudia Martinez
