Funds for Araceli's Family

Two heartless criminals pulled a bold smash and grab on our nanny Araceli's car while she was at our house for a few hours. They stole her purse, which contained $1200 she was planning on sending home to Mexico to help pay for her dying brother's funeral.

If you know Araceli, you know she is a loving, kind, generous, hardworking, and forgiving person. When the news reporters asked what she thought of these losers, she replied that she thought maybe we needed more social programs to help people like them, or that perhaps they needed more education so they wouldn't need to resort to crime.

Araceli never asks for help or buys anything for herself. She is active in the Seattle Mexican community, participating regularly in ceremonies, performances, and parades, and working to educate and inspire people regarding Aztec culture and tradition. She has raised two wonderful sons and been a mother figure to countless other people in need, all while working full time. Her heart is the size of Seattle, if not bigger. She is not able to travel home for her brother's funeral, so sending the funds to cover it is her way of being there. Araceli has spent her whole life caring for others. Please help show her that we'll take care of her when she needs it, too.

If you want a look at the miscreants who did this, you can see the video here:

*On the off chance we exceed our goal, all funds collected will be sent to Araceli's family in Mexico (she is one of NINE children!) to cover hospital, funeral, and final costs for her brother. Thank you all for your incredible generosity.
