A family facing a third loss of seven months, fighting with funeral expenses – KCBD

Lubbock, Texas (KCBD)-LUBBOCK’s family complains another heartbreaking loss after 44-year-old Ernest Ubal was hit by a car earlier this month.

The death of Ubal is the third death in the family after less than a year. His relatives tell him that they are buried with grief and financial tension as they prepare for another funeral.

“Trying to heal from the first, then my aunt, his mother, died two months ago, it was another open wound. Now this one has opened a big blow and the healing process has not even started for the first one, “said his cousin Anna Garcia.

Ubal was described as humble and hardworking. He secured his family by working in Bryan’s Steakhouse, but now his relatives are struggling to give him a proper funeral.

So far, Gofundme raised $ 740, but the family still needs thousands more. Donations can also be made directly in the funeral home.

“I can’t think of my life – why he? You know, we all get involved and we don’t live properly, why not why he, “said his brother Carlos Ubal.

For those who want to help, donations can be made on Gofundme or the funeral home.
