Support Edgar Barraza's Road to Recovery

Hello everyone reading this. I wish I wasn't having to write this, but tragedy strikes when we usually least expect it. On June 2nd, 2024, at 7:20 p.m., two tornadoes struck our little town of Sanderson, TX, leaving in their path a wake of destruction, pain, and suffering.

U.S. Border Patrol Agent Edgar Barraza is one of those people caught in the path of the larger of the two (NOAA EF-3) tornadoes. Edgar had served in the United States Navy before joining the U.S. Border Patrol. Edgar had just moved to Sanderson after completing the U.S. Border Patrol Academy and was beginning to learn his new job after recently completing the Border Patrol’s Field Training Program. Edgar was inside his residence when tragedy struck. Edgar was ripped from his residence and tossed over 200 yards from his home where rescuers found him.

Clinging to life, his fellow brothers in Green along with other law enforcement began to work to stabilize him and get him to a higher level of care that he desperately needed. Edgar suffered from extensive injuries all over his body, internal as well as external. Doctors have been working tirelessly to keep him stable and tackle one life-threatening injury at a time. The fact is that Edgar has a long battle to fight and needs our help!

Along with the medical bills that he will be faced with after recovery, Edgar lost his entire belongings and his vehicle. He will also be out of work for an extensive amount of time. Edgar Barraza has dedicated his life to selflessly serve his country first with the Navy and now the United States Border Patrol. Now it's time for us to give back. I am the Vice President of the Sanderson Border Patrol Station MWR (Morale Welfare and Recreation) asking everyone to please donate anything you can to help Agent Barraza during this trying time of his life.
