Two neighbor friends of ours were attacked at their business, Lopez Tires in Salt Lake City, early Tuesday morning.  Jose, 51, and Luis, 18, run the business and are father and son.  A man entered the business and began beating Luis, screaming his hatred towards Mexicans, and Jose ran in to defend his son.  The details are posted on the Salt Lake Tribune website today 11/30/18.  As per the Tribune:
“Luis Gustavo Lopez was hit so hard at the Salt Lake City tire shop that it shattered his cheekbone and eye socket and collapsed his sinus. He’s been in the intensive care unit since and had a titanium plate implanted on the right side of his face.”
We are asking for donations to help this family recover, both from medical costs and loss of business due to the hospitalization of the two men.  They are an amazing family, and great friends who have worked with my father, and whose young daughters play with our young Livi, and are the sweetest most well behaved girls you could meet.  Anything you can give would be extremely helpful.
