Hello community, my name is Maria and I am helping my friend Baltazar and his son Adrian out during these difficult times.

For the past 20 years, Baltazar has been a kind presence on the streets of our community - selling flowers with a smile, no matter the weather, to provide for himself and his young son. With increased ICE activity in our community he lives in constant fear. This fear has made it nearly impossible for him to continue selling or finding work. Yet, the bills don't stop- and neither does the need to provide for his young son.

We're asking for your help to raise funds to cover basic living expenses and help keep his family safe and stable for the next month or two. Every dollar goes directly to food, rent, and any essential items needed.

Please share if you can't donate. Let's come together and give back to someone who's given so much - quietly, consistently, and with dignity.
