In memory of Evelyn Rodriguez

Evelyn Rodriguez will always be remembered as one of the strongest and most caring women.  Despite the loss of her daughter, Kayla, to a violent gang murder by MS-13 gang members, Evelyn, always remained positive and turned the tragedy of her daughters death into a pursuit to end gang violence.  When anyone whose life Evelyn has been a part of is asked to describe her, you hear words like courageous, loving,  strong.  She was always the kind of person to make sure everyone else was okay, even if she was not, and was the person who would add positivity and sunshine to any day.  She was not just a coworker but family and a dear friend. Please help us to remember what a truly amazing woman Evelyn was by helping her family through this tough time and to help them move forward despite this horrible tragedy. All donations will be forwarded to the family to cover funeral expenses and to set up a trust for Evelyn’s children and grandson.
