Melissa Ortega was killed earlier today. Melissa was 8 years old and a resident of Little Village and attended Emiliano Zapata Academy. She and her mother immigrated from Mexico this past August. They were both excited to start a new life in Chicago and build their American Dream. I was honored to have met Melissa and will always remember her beautiful smile.

I am asking that you please help fund her funeral expenses. She will be buried in her home town, Los Sauces, Tabasco, Zacatecas, Mexico.

Thank you all for your generosity and prayers.
