Nohemi Gonzalez was a sweet, generous and upbeat soul that the world has lost due to the terrorist attacks in Paris. As a friend and a classmate I feel a hole in my heart from this tragedy, but I cannot even imagine the pain that her family must be experiencing from these devastating events. Beyond our prayers and sympathetic words my family and friends from school would like to try and help Nohemi's loved ones in this time of unimaginable sadness.
Please contribute to and share this fund for Nohemi's family, to help ease the financial burden associated with such a tragedy and/or make it possible for them to do something special and memorable in Nohemi's name. We all feel completely helpless, as we cannot take away the pain that losing a child brings, but we can help with the financial burden and help her memory live on.
I didn't know you Nohemi, but I followed a path that is quite similar to yours. Seventeen years ago, I too came from Los Angeles area to Paris to study design at Strate College. I started as an exchange student, but ended up staying here. When I read about your death, I was moved to tears and strong emotions. I wish I had met you. I've intended many times to pass by Strate to see how the new students were getting on, and what they were up to. I can only imagine what your family must be experiencing. I hope that they are able to find some solace in the memory of the time that they have spent with you in your all-too-short life. Rest in peace, lovely Nohemi.
