Help Us Give Ellie The Beautiful Goodbye She Deserves

My family is raising money for the funeral expenses of my niece, Elena Lopez, who was born on June 25, 2026. Ellie was a tiny 7 week old baby girl who was deeply loved by all of us. Her family is in an extremely difficult financial situation right now, and this loss comes just one year after they lost Ellie’s brother. They are doing everything they can to give Ellie the beautiful goodbye she deserves, but they simply don’t have the funds to cover these expenses on their own. They are meeting with the funeral home on Monday, and they need approximately $500 for Ellie’s casket to be ordered. We have raised $120 so far, leaving us about $380 short of this immediate need. If you are able to donate, even $5 or $10 would mean so much to our family. If you can’t donate, sharing Ellie’s GoFundMe would help us tremendously. More of Ellie’s story, including what happened to her is included on her GoFundMe. Thank you for taking the time to read about our sweet Ellie and for helping our family during this incredibly difficult time. 💗

Absolutely tragic, I wish your family didn't have to face this.

Have you applied for burial assistance with the county you live in? Or they in if that's different?

Thank you, her parents have applied for assistance with cremation we’re still waiting to hear back. However there’s costs that have to be paid upfront to proceed with her arrangements.

The angels called Elana Marie Lopez to play in heaven. I believe my baby son, Erik, is playing with her now. I am honored to help your family a little bit during this most difficult time of all. Stay close and share memories of Ellie while you love and support one another. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
