Walking in Honor of My Parents, Hilda & Jesus

When I was 15 years old, my parents, Hilda and Jesus, were tragically killed in a car accident. In that moment, my life changed forever.

At the time, I wasn’t aware of organizations like the Children’s Bereavement Center (CBC). Having a safe space to process grief, connect with others, and heal would have been incredible support during those years. The grief journey has been long, and it continues — but it’s also shaped who I am today.

This is my second year participating in the Steps for Healing 5K, and I walk to honor my parents’ memory while paying it forward. The CBC ensures that children, teens, and adults don’t have to navigate loss alone. Their programs are free and life-changing, and every dollar raised goes directly to making that possible.

And because my parents had amazing fashion sense, I’m adding some extra motivation: if I hit my fundraising goal, I’ll bring back the gem of an outfit from 1987 that is in my profile picture.

Thank you for helping me keep my parents’ memory alive while supporting such an important cause. Every donation truly makes a difference.
