Hi, my name is Kristi Alaniz-Garcia and we are raising funds for our brother, Ricky as he literally is fighting to live. He has COVID and is in the hospital and he is struggling for every breath, fighting to survive this awful virus. Ricky is an amazing guy and if you know him, you love him the second you meet him. He does not know a stranger and he is one of the best friends you will ever have. He has the biggest heart, always willing to help anyone in need. When Hurricane Harvey hit the Coastal Bend he pulled every resource imaginable to feed anyone and everyone. He gathered as many volunteers as possible to help prepare and cook food to feed FEMA, Red Cross, First Responders, volunteers and local residents affected by Hurricane Harvey. He purchased all the food and donated everything to help everyone as they worked to recover and rebuild from this hurricane disaster. Ricky is a small business owner and he currently owns Bluffalo Wings Co. in Flour Bluff. As a small business owner, he does not have medical insurance and he will definitely need help to pay for the insurmountable medical expenses he is incurring daily.
He is a father of three. His daughter, Savanah, age 21 is a senior at TAMU-CC. His son, Landon, age 16 will be a Senior and his daughter, Jenna, age 10 will be a sixth grader at Flour Bluff ISD.
Ricky is a pillar of the Flour Bluff community, particularly active, respected and very supportive of the Flour Bluff school district and the neighborhood. He left his nursing career a few years ago to open a restaurant, The Location, with our parents in Tilden, TX. They sold that restaurant a couple of years ago and Ricky has successfully opened two restaurants, Bluffalo Wings Co. in Corpus Christi, Texas. He is returning to nursing and had plans to start his new job this week.
COVID is merciless and we lost our Mother, Olga Alaniz to this horrible virus last year. Our brother, Rick is strong and healthy and an avid runner and he is valiantly fighting every day for a single breath. He needs our help, our love, support and infinite prayers. He is scared, tired and struggling with every breath in this huge fight for his life. Please consider making a donation to help with the financial burden he is incurring for medical expenses. Please keep praying for Ricky Alaniz in his fight to live and pray for his children and his family. God Bless!
