Help support the Garza Family

You see the posts every day, 22 lives are lost to veteran suicide.  You look for warnings, and you always try to help your fellow brother or sister.  Unfortunately, some feel so lost that they think that this is their only option. 

A fellow Marine and brother took his life on 16 January.  He left behind a family that relied heavily upon him for support.  His wife Natalia, his three daughters: Estella age 8, Catalina age 4, Maria age 3, and his one year old son Raul have lost that support.  Oscar Garza was an amazing Marine, husband, and father to his family both in the military and out.  Many occasions Oscar and Natalia had our shop at their house taking care of us, feeding us, providing great conversation, and many memorable events including us in their family.  I have never had the joy of being around a more selfless family.  Now that family needs our help.

I wish I could say that I and my fellow veteran brothers, sisters, and Marines could support their life throughout its duration; however, as most people know life is tight and tough.  Therefore, we are reaching out to the community in hopes that we can lift this veterans family upon our shoulders and carry some of their burden in their time of need.  Anything raised will go directly to Natalia to help them with funeral costs, food, clothing, and anything they will need on their road to recovery.  If you can, please help support this family in any way possible. Thank you for you generosity.
