The one who died is my uncle, 💔😭he left 2 children, one 4 and another 9 years old, it is very painful what we are going through ... he was only looking for a better life, his dream was to take his wife and 2 children , because he wanted to see his children studied. And now seeing those 2 babies without their father breaks our soul, we do not know how to fulfill that dream he had, to see his children studying. Life in Honduras is unfortunately very difficult.
Immigration authorities, if they can see this message, the only thing that we family members ask is that his wife and children have a better life in the United States,…
