Gloria Ortega, Leamington, ON — The community is mourning the loss of Gloria Ortega, who passed away recently. She was the only provider for her two children, leaving them in the care of their grandfather and uncle after her sudden passing.

It’s really hard because we weren’t prepared for this situation, not emotionally or financially, but we hope we can get through this. Thank you for your support."
So far, $2,610 has been raised out of the $12,000 goal through generous donations from community members like Sheri Brown, who donated $200, and Anthony Rivas, who contributed $500. The family is seeking further assistance to reach their goal and provide the necessary support for Gloria’s children.
Facebook has been flooded with heartfelt messages from friends and family. Maria Fernanda Meneses expressed her sorrow, writing, "Hola Gabriel me parte el corazón ver a Andrea," while Pilar Gaitan reminisced, "Que noticia tan triste, la niña que tuve en mis brazos, la que siempre he querido como una hija… hoy tengo mi corazón triste mi niña." Debbie Johnston Harris offered her help, saying, "So very sorry Gabriel, if there is anything I can help with please reach out. May God Rest Gloria’s Soul."
