A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER OF LOLA
“After I lost my husband and father I spent so much time searching for help. I was financially paralyzed, emotionally paralyzed and left with having to close down two estates as well as go through legal battles. I created LOLA so I could hold the flashlight for you. So you have someone to guide you through the maze of all that happens before and after a loss.”

Jose Martinez
LOLA Sr. Advocate
As a Hospice Expert and Placement Advocate, I have spent years building close relationships with San Antonio’s best Physicians, Hospital Case Managers, Assisted Living Facilities, and Private Care Services. These relationships have prepared me to address each patient's unique medical requirements and their families' concerns with urgency, compassion, and the highest standard of care.
Working with families to achieve the best possible quality of life for loved ones in challenging circumstances has become my calling. I have made many lifelong friends through this service, including Esther Pipoly. Helping her secure appropriate hospice services for her husband and father was a privilege.
