The victim’s three daughters who are in Honduras, are now pleading with authorities to help repatriate her body.
‘We want to be able to bring her back to her country of origin so we can hold a wake and give her a Christian burial,’ one of them told HCH TV.
‘She left almost three years ago with the idea of having a better life and returning in five years,’ the daughter said.
In the online fundraiser, Perdomo’s niece, identified only as Rubi, said Perdomo ‘was an incredible mother, a loving grandmother, and a woman who taught me the meaning of hard work, kindness, and what it means to be a good human being.’
