I am trying to help the family that has always treated me like family! Paka was a Huge part of many many lives, he was non-judgmental and always open-armed with no

hesitation. He was a huge Poway staple and legend, and I was privileged enough to hear a lot of great stories about this man and his heart of gold. The immediate family is not asking for a lot they have already taken care of certain things but do need a bit of financial help. There are a lot of good-hearted people from past to present, from jr. high to present that have asked the family if they need any help, and yes they have been contemplating a go fund me while trying to do everything on their own. I felt Paka's family could benefit at this time with the sudden loss to not have to stress of financial issues. If you can help this wonderful family, Thank you and if you can help this wonderful family by sharing this, then again Thank you!!! The family is still trying to process everything including the Celebration of Life which could be in one to 4 months but they are trying their best to continue to keep strong during a very difficult time.
