On May 9th our friend and neighbor, Edgar Mercado, passed away suddenly and without warning.

To honor Edgar’s memory we’ve created this GoFundMe to rally around Zulibel and their two children. Edgar was the family’s primary “breadwinner” and the family will need financial assistance with medical and funeral expenses and beyond. No donation is too small and every contribution is deeply appreciated.

Please pray for strength for this family during what is an unimaginably difficult time. In the weeks, months and years to come please continue to share your memories of Edgar, especially with his children. He was a kind, good and generous man who will be greatly missed.
