Help Hector’s Family Lay Him to Rest

On August 11,2025 tragedy struck at the Target store in Austin, TX, when 24-year-old Hector Leopaldo Martinez Machuca lost his life in a senseless shooting.

Hector was more than a victim — he was a devoted son, a hard worker, and a young man with dreams ahead of him. He loved his mother deeply and worked hard every day to help support her. His mom is a single parent who raised him with love, sacrifice, and strength.

Now, she is facing the unimaginable — saying goodbye to her child far too soon. The heartbreak is heavy, and on top of the emotional pain, she is also facing the financial burden of funeral expenses.

We are asking for your help to give Hector the farewell he deserves. Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly to his mother to cover funeral costs and to help her during this devastating time.

Please keep Hector’s family in your prayers and share this fundraiser so others can help.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support.

El Agosto 11,2025, ocurrió una tragedia en la tienda Target de Austin, TX, cuando Héctor Leopaldo Martínez Machuca, de solo 24 años, perdió la vida en un tiroteo sin sentido.

Héctor era mucho más que una víctima: era un hijo devoto, un trabajador incansable y un joven con muchos sueños por delante. Amaba profundamente a su mamá y trabajaba duro cada día para ayudarla. Su madre es madre soltera y lo crió con amor, sacrificio y fortaleza.

Ahora ella enfrenta lo inimaginable: despedirse de su hijo demasiado pronto. El dolor es inmenso, y además de la tristeza, también enfrenta la carga económica de los gastos funerarios y de entierro.

Estamos pidiendo su ayuda para darle a Héctor el último adiós que merece. Cualquier contribución, por pequeña que sea, irá directamente a su mamá para cubrir los costos del funeral y ayudarla en este momento tan difícil.

Por favor, mantengan a la familia de Héctor en sus oraciones y compartan esta campaña para que más personas puedan ayudar.

De todo corazón, gracias por su amabilidad, sus oraciones y su apoyo.
