The late Ronald Javier Marcia Rosales was from Hollywood, Florida. His sudden passing at the young age of 22 has left his family and community in deep mourning. Ronald’s father, Orlando Martin Marcia, is facing immense grief, having recently buried both his own parents within the last nine months. Now, he is confronted with the unbearable pain of losing his son.
Ronald’s uncle, Javier Cornavaca, is spearheading a GoFundMe campaign to assist Orlando with funeral arrangements and the repatriation of Ronald’s remains back to Nicaragua, his homeland. This effort aims to ensure Ronald receives a dignified burial alongside his mother and other family members.
Javier Cornavaca shared his sorrow and plea for help on Facebook: "We are mourning the sudden death of our 22yr old nephew Ronald Javier Marcia. His dad Orlando Martin Marcia (my cousin) needs help. He buried both his mom & dad within 9 months, and now he is dealing with the unbearable pain of losing his son. My friends and family, I ask you to please join me in this GoFund account to help my cousin with funeral arrangements and assistance for the repatriation of his son’s remains back to Nicaragua. Please help! No amount is too small, absolutely any amount will help. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your generosity and for always being there for my family and I."
The fundraiser, created on June 28th, 2024, has so far raised $875 out of the $8,000 goal from 18 donations. The support from friends and family has been heartfelt, with the top donation of $200 coming from Aleimy Acosta and the first donation of $50 from Javier Cornavaca himself.
"Dear friends and family, the sudden death of our nephew Ronald Javier Marcia Rosales has left the family with profound sorrow, especially his father, our cousin Orlando Martin Marcia Garcia. With hearts broken into a thousand pieces, we ask for your prayers for the eternal rest of our nephew, a young man of only 22 years with a whole life ahead of him. His sudden passing has led us to seek financial assistance for the repatriation of his body to Nicaragua, his country of origin, so he can receive a dignified burial alongside his mother and other family members. Help us gather strength to support our cousin Orlando Martin Marcia Garcia in the loss of his son… a very strong pain for any father. We thank you in advance for your collaboration. God bless you for your generosity," Javier Cornavaca wrote on the GoFundMe page.
