Under tragic circumstances, Fernando Camarillo was killed while defending his mother. Despite his efforts, Maria also lost her life. Maria leaves behind 6 other children: Kayce, Jayda, Kayla, David, Benjamin, and Victoria. Victoria is only 8 1/2 months old.

The family is desperately trying to keep the children together but need to obtain housing large enough to accommodate all of the kids. There are also immediate needs such as burial funds for Maria and Fernando.

Please share widely with your networks. Any support you can contribute could make the difference in whether this family will have the opportunity to mourn and heal together versus the children being separated and placed in foster care after losing their mother and brother to horrible violence.
