It is with heavy hearts and profound sorrow that we share the tragic passing of Raina Hernandez, a sweet and vibrant 2½-year-old girl who was taken from this world far too soon. On July 21, 2025, in an unthinkable accident, Raina tragically drowned—leaving her family, friends, and all who loved her completely devastated.
In her short but radiant life, Raina touched more hearts than many do in a lifetime. She was a joyful, spirited soul who brought light, laughter, and boundless love to everyone around her. With her playful giggle, wide-eyed wonder, and a smile that could soften even the hardest day, Raina embodied the very essence of innocence and beauty.
Whether she was chasing bubbles in the yard, cuddling her favorite stuffed animals, or reaching out with tiny arms to give the biggest hugs, Raina’s presence filled her home with warmth and life. She was adored beyond measure—especially by her three older siblings: two brothers and a sister—who cherished their baby sister with fierce love and tenderness. The bond they shared was pure, and her absence has left a void that words cannot begin to describe.
The grief that now surrounds the Hernandez family is unimaginable. No parent should ever have to bury their child. No brother or sister should have to grow up with only memories of someone who should have been by their side through every milestone. And yet, here they are—trying to navigate a loss that no family is ever prepared to endure.
In this time of mourning, we are coming together as a community to offer love, compassion, and tangible support to the Hernandez family. A fundraiser has been created to help cover Raina’s memorial and funeral expenses, and to ease some of the financial burden as the family begins their long journey toward healing. This is not something any family can go through alone, and every gift—no matter the size—makes a difference.
If you’re unable to give financially, please consider sharing their story, lighting a candle in Raina’s memory, or simply holding the family in your thoughts and prayers. Every kind word, every gentle gesture, is felt deeply and appreciated more than you know.
Raina’s time here may have been short, but her light will never fade. She lives on in the hearts of those who loved her, in the lullabies once sung, the toys still scattered on the floor, the photos full of joy, and the love that endures even in the face of unspeakable loss.
Rest peacefully, sweet Raina.
You were our sunshine, our joy, our little miracle. You will be loved and missed always.
To support the Hernandez family during this heartbreaking time, please consider donating to the memorial fund. All contributions will go directly toward funeral costs and helping the family heal.
Thank you for your love, kindness, and unwavering support.
