Supporting Griselda Cervantes' End of Life
Hello Everyone,
My name is Mark Marquez, and I am reaching out on behalf of my niece, Griselda Cervantes, and her father, who desperately needs our support. Griselda is bravely battling an aggressive brain tumor, a fight she has endured for two years. At just 44 years old, she should be building her legacy and leaving her mark on the world—not preparing for her funeral.
Griselda was diagnosed with glioblastoma in April 2023. She underwent her first surgery in May 2023, followed by a second surgery in May 2024, and a final surgery in August 2024. Despite these efforts, her oncologist has given her a devastating prognosis, indicating she likely will not see the spring.
Since the summer, her father, Abel Cervantes, has taken unpaid leave to become her full-time caregiver. They have been relying on their savings to get by, but this financial burden has become overwhelming. Now, we are seeking assistance to cover Griselda’s funeral expenses—a weight that lies heavily on her father’s heart. As his only daughter, (his Baby Girl).
We had hoped for more time, but Griselda is now slowly slipping away. She is holding on with the hope of celebrating one more Christmas.
To support her and her father during this heartbreaking time, I have set up a GiveSendGo campaign to raise funds for her end-of-life and funeral expenses. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and support.

Update: Griselda Cervantes Passing
December 1st, 2024
It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the passing of Griselda Cervantes yesterday (11/30/24). She was surrounded by family in her final moments.
Griselda brought so much light into the lives of her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a truly genuine soul, a joy to be around, with a beautiful smile and a contagious laugh that could brighten any room.
After her courageous battle with cancer, Griselda’s incredible strength, grace, and resilience were truly inspiring to all. While this is a time of immense grief, we find solace in knowing she is no longer in pain.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to her campaign. Your generosity has meant the world to Griselda and her father. We will continue working to reach our designated goal of $25,000 to support her family during this difficult time.
Thank you for standing with us, for your kind words, and for helping us ensure that Griselda felt the full measure of your care and compassion.
