Now, the family of the Salvadoran has asked the immigrant community for help to repatriate the body to his native country. Guevara had arrived in the United States in 2021 in search of a better life for his family, which he left in El Salvador. He was looking for work the day he died.

However, Guevara’s family has not been able to obtain the funds to repatriate his body so they can give him a proper burial. They have even set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money needed to move his body to his native country.
