Our longtime Santa Venetia Market manager and friend Nestor De La Roca had a severe stroke suddenly on Sunday April 1st leaving him with complete paralysis of the right side of his body.

Nestor was the primary caregiver for his elderly mother and his son, and now that he is unable to care for himself or his family he needs our support now more than ever!

My name is Jason Pavao, I’m a lifelong Santa Venetian and have known Nestor for the past 20+ years. In this time I’ve had the pleasure to come to know Nestor a bit and I without any hesitation have to say that he was among one of the most caring, loving and thoughtful people I’ve had the pleasure to encounter. He would literally take the shirt off his back and give it to you. Please help me in supporting a cherished member of our community.

This money is a lifeline to Nestor's son and family to help them get back on their feet. Thank you for your support!
