As many of you know, our family has been through a lot this year with the loss of Joyce. On top of the challenge of grief, Daniel has been dealing with additional burdens all year long as he details here: https://www.kansascityinphotos.com/post/third-time-was-the-charm

It has come to a head in the last month when his car was stolen for the third and final time. After 10 days it was recovered but this time it is a total loss and it is a heartbreaking end to an already impossible year. Money has been incredibly tight for Daniel as his business has suffered under unfair ordinances in KC. Not having a car payment was a huge help. But now, next steps are impossible without funding. He needs a new car and will get no money back from the loss of this car.

We know that everyone who knows Daniel loves him - we also know that if we all do a little we can all do a lot. Our hope is that through everyone's support we can make a miracle happen for Daniel and help him gather enough funds for a down payment on his next car (not a Kia or a Hyundai).

Thank you from our family. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

- Christy, Sergio Carlos, Emily and Sergio Orlando. 

Daniel's car was stripped for parts and trashed by the thieves. It was so demoralizing to see his car in this state knowing how clean and tidy he kept it.:
