The Oakland community is coming to terms with the sudden and tragic passing of Citlaly “Lupita” Morales Martinez, a vibrant 19-year-old whose life was cut short by a car accident. As an only child, Citlaly’s death has left a profound emptiness in the lives of her family and friends.
Known for her radiant personality and infectious laughter, Citlaly was a beacon of joy and warmth. Her smile could lighten up even the darkest days, and her presence brought comfort and happiness to everyone around her. She lived her life fully, cherishing each moment spent with loved ones and leaving a lasting impact on all she met.
In response to this devastating loss, a fundraiser organized by Jessica Arechiga has been established to support Citlaly’s family during this difficult time. The campaign aims to alleviate the financial strain of funeral costs and honor Citlaly’s memory with a fitting tribute. The goal is set at $30,000, of which $710 has been raised through seven donations.
This effort not only seeks to provide financial assistance but also serves as a communal space for friends, family, and well-wishers to share their grief and celebrate Citlaly’s life. It reflects the collective spirit of a community rallying to support one of their own in a moment of unspeakable sorrow. Contributions to the fundraiser will enable Citlaly’s family to focus on healing and remembering the precious moments they shared with her.
Each donation, whether large or small, plays a crucial part in commemorating a life that, though brief, was immensely impactful. The Morales Martinez family extends their heartfelt thanks to everyone for their overwhelming kindness and unwavering support during this heartbreaking time.
