Support for Armando and Angela Cerda & Family

 On Sunday, October 19th, our dear friend Armando Cerda was involved in a serious work accident in Kern County. While on the job, he was on a foot pursuit and was struck by a vehicle, resulting in severe injuries including fractures to his knee and shoulder. Since then, Armando has undergone three surgeries and remains hospitalized as he begins what will be a long and challenging road to recovery.

 His amazing wife, Angela, has been traveling from Selma to Bakersfield most days to be by his side while also caring for their four children back home.

Angela is currently between jobs, making this time even more difficult for their family. Because Armando is self-employed, he does not qualify for disability or workers’ compensation benefits — leaving them without a steady source of income as medical bills, travel expenses, and daily living costs continue to add up.

 Despite everything, Angela and Armando have remained strong, grateful, and full of faith. The love and support they’ve received from friends, family, and coworkers mean the world to them. Many have asked how they can help — and this GoFundMe is one way we can come together to lift them up during this incredibly hard time.

 All donations will go directly to Angela and Armando to help with medical expenses, travel costs, and household needs while Armando focuses on healing and recovery. No amount is too small — every donation, share, and prayer makes a difference.

Let’s show this beautiful family how much their community loves and supports them. Thank you for standing with the Cerda family during this time.
