On Thursday, September 18th, while walking to school, Anakin Perez was the victim to a fatal hit-and-run. What should have been a normal school day turned into a mother’s worst nightmare. Anakin was taken too soon, at just 9 years old. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and cousin. Life will never be the same again without our Anakin. He was full of life, love, innocence, and brilliance. If you knew Anakin you knew he always had a smile on his face, down to his last moments, excited to start his day. He still had so much to see, to learn, and so many more touchdowns to score. Anakin leaves behind his: mother, Alejandra Gallegos, sisters, Analiyah & Anavi, and baby brother Ocean.

Our family is heartbroken and overwhelmed by this sudden devastating loss. During this incredibly difficult time, we are humbly asking for support to ease the financial burden we are facing.

We are deeply grateful for your kindness, prayers. Your generosity means more than words can express.
