Maria Gomez, mi entran̈able amiga, guerrera incansable, activista, defensora de los derechos de los niñosThe loss of Maria Gomez, our cherished friend, loyal partner, and steadfast ally, is a profound one for our community. Maria has completed her journey and is now meeting the Almighty. Left behind are her loving husband and three children who now face the daunting task of laying her to rest with dignity—a farewell deserving of a woman whose courage and heart touched so many. Maria never asked for help, nor did she ever complain, even as she faced her own battles with cancer time and again. Despite the personal challenges, she championed causes bigger than herself. Her dedication to closing a polluting company near 28th School was driven by her commitment to a healthier future for the children, striving to prevent the same fate she suffered. Her relentless spirit and compassionate actions have left an indelible mark on our community. She will always be remembered by all of us who had the privilege to know her. We need your support during this difficult time. Your generous donations will ensure we can give Maria the heartfelt farewell she so rightfully deserves. Any contribution, big or small, will help fulfill this final tribute and ease the familial burden they now bear. Please help us honor Maria’s legacy by contributing today, so we can celebrate her life with the dignity she earned through her selfless actions. Thank you for your compassion and support in giving our dear friend the respectful goodbye she truly deserves. Long life for our dear friend, always in my heart!
