Christina Cordova Perez, my sister, is facing an unimaginable loss after her son, Elijah Gutierrez, was killed by a drunk driver on Sunday night in Corpus Christi, Texas. Elijah was only 20 years old.

We are heartbroken and are trying to endure the pain of losing a part of our family. The shock and grief has been overwhelming for all of us, and we are doing our best to support Christina as she faces this tragedy.

In addition to the emotional toll, the financial burden of arranging a funeral has added to the stress and heartache. The costs are significant, and it is difficult to manage everything while grieving such a profound loss. We are reaching out to our community, friends, and family for help during this incredibly difficult time.

Any support you can offer would mean so much to our family. Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts.
