Help Esme’s family

Hello, My name is Izaa and I am the brother of Esmeralda “Esme” Rangel. On Thursday, Jan 5th her and her friend Erika were taken from us at the hands of a drunk driver just a mile from where she called home on 100th and E Ave R in Littlerock CA. This horrific event has forever damaged my family, her friends and my life.

She was only 23 but had so much life ahead of her. She was incredibly intelligent as she graduated top of her class. She worked at Palmdale Regional Hospital and had continued ambitions to further her education, in which she was looking forward to the coming school year to begin.

Her passing has left a large hole in the hearts of many but most greatly in my mom. As a fixed income household and taking full time care of my brother who is blind and handicapped, this loss has shattered and shaken our home.

Esme had the biggest heart and truly kept the household together.

We are asking anyone and everyone for help to help ease the heavy financial burdens that my family now faces.

Thank you everyone in our community for all your kindness and heartfelt support during this difficult time.
