Help the Doyle Family Heal After Monique's Loss

A heart breaking tragedy occurred on October 15th. Monique Maes and her children were taking an evening walk on their property when they were struck by a vehicle in a horrific hit and run. Monique was struck directly, Joaquin was barely missed but got hit in the leg and Sole jumped into a bush to escape. Luckily, the children were released later that day from the hospital with minor injuries. It is with great sadness that Monique passed the following day.

Our friend Gene Doyle lost his former wife, and Joaquin and Soledad lost their mother. Joaquin and Soledad are amazing children and Gene is a dedicated father. This is an unimaginable situation. We do not know what the next chapter of this family's life will be, but any financial support they can receive during this time would be greatly appreciated.

If you know Gene, Joaquin, and Soledad, please consider helping out so they can take the time they need to grieve and to cover expenses needed to recover from this loss. We all suffer a tremendous sorrow for the loss of Monique who was a wonderfully kind and caring person and a loving mother who was taken away too young. We hope that the Doyle family can remain strong and feel the support of this community during this unbelievable tragedy.
