The late Ruben Flores Rodriguez was a beloved father, grandfather, and respected member of the Northern California Cement Masons Finisher Local 400 Union. His family and the community are deeply affected by his passing on April 22, 2024, after enduring ongoing trauma from elder abuse and real estate fraud orchestrated by his sister Elvia Rodriguez Cardenas and her husband Jose Ramirez Cardenas since 2006.
Martha Puente Rodriguez, Ruben’s youngest daughter, is organizing a fundraiser to cover the costs of his funeral services. Living with both her parents and three children, Martha has reached out to family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and various organizations to raise the necessary funds. The goal is to collect $6,000 for the burial expenses.
Martha’s heartfelt plea for assistance highlights the financial and emotional strain the family is under. She describes her father as a hard-working and loving man who faced unjust hardships in his later years due to the abuse and fraud.
The community has begun to rally around Martha’s GoFundMe campaign, "Loving Ruben Flores Rodriguez Funeral Services Cost," in hopes of providing the support needed during this difficult time. "Your donation matters," Martha emphasizes, as she seeks to honor her father’s memory and ensure a proper farewell.
