Background
[Traducción en español abajo] Thank you for visiting my amazing dad's page. We're hosting this page to memorialize Willie, and to raise money to help support us, his family, during this difficult time. Donations will help cover the costs of daily living and funeral expenses (cremation, portraits, etc). Also, we will donate a portion to Rosewood Church, as that is what Willie wanted in lieu of flowers. We are incredibly grateful for everyone's love and support.
Without my dad's income, my mom, Alda, and I will be facing financial difficulties to cover the house and all other bills. Although I'm here for now and can help, I will have to return back to Northern California eventually for work and will be limited in my financial assistance.
My mom does not qualify for his social security and must continue to work for at least 5 more years. Bishop, her school, has been incredibly generous and understanding during this time. However, my mom has exhausted nearly all of her vacation and sick leave, and cannot afford to take unpaid leave, if she needs to. My mom and I are both depressed, anxious, and exhausted after my dad's 3-year battle with cancer. We've had to neglect our health to make it through this time and we're feeling it now, on top of all the financial and emotinal stress.
In terms of final arrangements, part of him will live with us in his urn in Long Beach. Another part will be buried next to his parents in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.
Our community has truly stepped up to take care of us with food, donations, and so much love and support. We have a long journey ahead of us, and we are so grateful to have you join us.
We want to make it clear that prayers and hugs are just as important as a donation, and that you shouldn't feel any pressure to give. Thank you for all of your thoughts, prayers, hugs, donations, and love.
With love and gratitude,
Alda, Alex, Toby, & Chromeo (the cats)

Gracias por visitar la página de mi increíble papá. Estamos compartiendo esta página para conmemorar a Willie y para recaudar dinero para ayudarnos durante este momento difícil. Las donaciones ayudarán a cubrir los costos de la vida diaria y los gastos funerarios (cremación, retratos, etc.). Además, donaremos una porción a la Iglesia Rosewood, ya que eso es lo que Willie quería en lugar de flores. Estamos increíblemente agradecidos por el amor y el apoyo de todos.
Sin los ingresos de mi papá, mi mamá, Alda y yo enfrentaremos dificultades financieras para cubrir la casa y todas las demás cuentas. Aunque estoy aquí por ahora y puedo ayudar, eventualmente tendré que regresar al norte de California para trabajar y mi asistencia financiera será limitada.
Mi mamá no califica para su seguro social y necesita seguir trabajando por lo menos 5 años más. Bishop, su escuela, ha sido increíblemente generosa durante este tiempo. Sin embargo, mi mamá ha agotado casi todas sus horas de vacaciones y enfermedad. Mi mamá y yo estamos deprimidos, ansiosos y agotados después de la batalla de 3 años de mi papá contra el cáncer. Tuvimos que descuidar nuestra salud para pasar este tiempo y lo estamos sintiendo ahora, además de todo el estrés emocional y financiero.
En cuanto a los arreglos finales, parte de él vivirá con nosotros en su urna en Long Beach. Otra parte será enterrada junto a sus padres en Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.
Nuestra comunidad realmente se ha esforzado por cuidarnos con alimentos, donaciones y mucho amor y apoyo. Tenemos un largo viaje por delante y estamos muy agradecidos de que se unan a nosotros.
Queremos aclarar que las oraciones y los abrazos son igualmente importantes como una donación y que no debes sentir ninguna presión para donar. Gracias por todos sus pensamientos, oraciones, abrazos, donaciones y amor.
Con mucho amor y gratitud,
Alda, Alex, Toby y Chromeo (los gatos)
