Raul Castro Sr. passed away this morning in Torrance, California, leaving his family in grief. His son, Raul Antonio Castro, shared the heartbreaking news and the family’s struggle to cover funeral costs due to an unexpected lapse in his insurance policy.
Raul Sr., described as a grumpy yet loving father, faced a rapid health decline after his wife’s death in August 2023. His family believes he succumbed to a broken heart. Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in January 2024, doctors estimated he had six months to a year to live, but his condition worsened faster than anticipated.
To honor his father’s memory and cover funeral expenses, Raul Antonio Castro initiated a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser, organized by Carolina Castro, aims to raise $5,000 to bridge the gap left by the unpaid insurance policy. Despite the heavy burden of grief, the family remains grateful for any support during this difficult time.
