A local family in our Del Mar Unified community is facing an unimaginable challenge. Their young son, Mark Maldonado, an elementary school student, was recently involved in a serious e-bike accident. He is currently in the hospital with critical injuries, and the days ahead are filled with uncertainty and worry for his loved ones. As friends and neighbors, we want to rally around this family and show them they are not alone during this difficult time.

The financial burden of medical bills, along with the costs of food and daily necessities, can be overwhelming for any family—especially when their focus needs to be on their child’s recovery. By coming together and offering our support, we can help ease some of their stress and allow them to devote their energy to what matters most: being there for their son.

Your generosity, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, will make a real difference. A sincere thank you for the support of the community. Every act of kindness brings hope and comfort to this family as they navigate the road ahead.
