George Ortiz II passed away early this month in Washington DC. His nephew, Jamie Sorenson, is facing the challenging task of arranging for George’s body to be transported back to California for burial. George, who had no immediate family members alive, was a graduate of the US Naval Academy and UCSF medical school.
Jamie Sorenson, George’s next of kin, is organizing a fundraiser to cover the $7,800 cost of transporting George’s body from Washington DC to Sacramento, CA. Despite George having an insurance policy, the funds are tied up and will take about 45 days to be released, making the situation financially difficult for Jamie.
As of now, the fundraiser has raised $3,635 out of the $10,000 goal, with contributions from ten donors. Jamie is appealing for further donations and prayers to help bring his uncle home for an honorable burial. Funeral arrangements are yet to be posted, but the community’s support is crucial in this time-sensitive matter.
