Richard Damian was Jonathan’s 28-year-old friend, the youngest sibling in his family, and a one-of-a-kind person who always brought laughter wherever he went. Richard traveled to Tijuana, Baja California, seeking help through rehabilitation services, but after only three days there, his life was tragically taken. Richard was beaten and murdered by staff members, and his family in East Los Angeles is now facing the unimaginable pain of losing someone so young in such a horrific way. This has left his loved ones heartbroken and overwhelmed, while also carrying the heavy financial burden that comes with such a sudden tragedy.

All donations from this fundraiser will go directly to Richard’s family to help cover funeral services, the urgent cost of bringing his body home from Mexico to Los Angeles, and legal support as they pursue justice. These expenses are significant, and the family should not have to face them alone while grieving. Please consider supporting Richard Damian’s family in any way possible. Every donation, prayer, and share will help ease some of the weight on their shoulders, help lay Richard to rest with dignity, and stand with his family as they seek justice for this horrific crime.
