The 20-year-old woman was working two jobs, and was getting ready to buy a car soon. She also had hopes of going to medical school.
“She had such a big heart, and when she loved, she loved hard,” the friend.
Ortiz’s mother and sister just finished planning her funeral, but still need help with expenses. The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help them cover funeral expenses.
Her mother said she is going to miss her until her last days on earth.
