Carlos Rivera, 50, was violently assassinated and taken from his family, who loved and depended on him. His wife and son have endured tragedy after tragedy within the past two years. As their neighbors, family, and friends, we can't stand to see them suffer anymore. We ask everyone to dig deep into their pockets on this one and give anything possible. Carlos' family needs to know that we stand behind warriors of peace like Carlos and won't allow these senseless acts of violence to go unpunished. The community lost its top protector. Carlos truly made everyone feel safe and important. He would give his last dollar to help even those who may not deserve it. He was that kind of guy. We hope that you can find it within your heart to give something. Everything adds up and will help a devastated widow and her son somehow begin the rest of their lives without their beloved husband and father.
