Honor Aldo’s Memory: Bring Him Home By Cesar A Cruz Teolol

Help Us Bring Aldo Fernando Lara Home

It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Aldo Fernando Lara, age 34, who took his own life this past Tuesday. Aldo was the beloved partner of our staff member Yolanda Maria Castillo and a cherished volunteer who gave generously of his time and spirit to Homies Empowerment.

About Aldo

Aldo was more than just a volunteer – he was family. He regularly helped at Homies Empowerment, contributing his time and energy with genuine care and dedication. His presence brought light to our community, and his loss has left us devastated.

Our Mission: Bringing Aldo Home

Aldo has no family in the United States. His parents are in México, and they deserve the chance to lay their son to rest with dignity in his homeland. Yolanda is working to arrange for Aldo’s body to be transported back to Mexico so his family can say their final goodbyes.

The costs for international body repatriation include embalming, documentation, transportation, and customs requirements.

How You Can Help

We are reaching out to our community to help raise funds needed to bring Aldo home to his parents in Mexico.
