All donations collected through April 2025 will support Jaime’s family.

Fundraising Goal: $7,000

1. Funeral Costs: $2,200 

2. Family Stipend: $4,800 (6 months of Jaime’s salary) Jaime worked tirelessly to support his wife, children, and father.  These donations will directly support food, education, and other necessary living expenses for his family.

We are shocked and heart-broken to hear of Venado’s beloved Jaime Piña Corea’s recent passing. To say that Jaime was a leader would be an understatement – he was Venado’s change-maker, the communities anchor… the guy who anyone in the community could go to for help. His heart radiated a mile-wide and he always carried compassion in his eyes.
Jaime invested countless hours into the community – he was the President of  Venado’s leadership association, and he was a leader for the local water board, school committee, sports committee in various roles over the past decade.
For Clara Vista, he was our main partner and liaison. We will be missed so dearly and his legacy will live on throughout all of the projects he helped galvanize for the community – the community center, various improvements to the plaza, the water system, the school – nothing in Venado wasn’t touched or supported by Jaime.
All donations gathered through the end of April will go towards supporting Jaime’s family and a community legacy project so his spirit will carry on, continuing to care for all of his neighbors in Venado.
While this video of Jaime was made in 2015, it encapsulates Jaime so beautifully ❤
