<div>Today, I met <strong>Vincente and his son</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I walked up and asked if they wanted to try catching my mystery football. His son caught it, so I handed them $1,000.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>What I didn’t expect was what came next.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Vincente opened up about how heavy life has been lately. He’s a veteran, a former cop who worked in the prison system. He was stabbed on the job, and the injuries have made it incredibly hard to find work again. He’s fallen behind on his mortgage and bills.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And then he shared something no parent should ever have to say out loud…

</div>

<div>He recently lost his second son to SIDS.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Still grieving. Still fighting. Still showing up for the child standing right next to him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In the middle of unimaginable loss and hardship, <strong>Vincente keeps going—for his family, for his son, for hope</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Let’s come together and help lift this family back onto their feet.</strong>

</div>

<div>Let’s remind Vincente that he’s not alone—and that his story isn’t over. ❤️
