help our family

Donation protected
On April 29th our family received devasting news that my mother Erlinda Villareal age 42 & my two brothers jose "Joe" Mendoza age 12 &jesus "Jay" Mendoza age 9 whom were all residents of Victorville, CA went missing. When we arrived to the home there was signs of struggle but they were still no where to be found. Immediately family members came together to try & bring them back home. We drove in the deserts & areas we think they may have been but still, we had no leads. The next morning came & we as a family never thought we would experience such a horrific loss. It was just two years ago that my family came together to lay my baby brother, Rudy to rest. I don’t know how I could have got through that loss without my mother, and now I can’t believe that I have to lay her to rest along with 2 more of my siblings. My heart aches, Jojo & Jay were athletes in our community, who were loved dearly by their teammates & always made us proud as a family. My mother was a good woman who was known as “tia nani” in the family. A woman who welcomed her nieces/nephews/grandchildren in her home. None of them deserved to lose their lives in such a horrific way. At this time we are asking that our community & family come together to donate anything they can. We have already received such an outpouring of love and we want to thank you, your words of encouragement, and your prayers. We are hopeful that we can peacefully lay Jojo, Jay, and my mother to rest. https://www.facebook.com/groups/victorvalleynews/permalink/3392325177478818/
