Support for Raquel Garcia's Family
Donation protected
Raquel Garcia is the American Dream – and the American Challenge – personified.
Just 14 years old and the oldest of 7 children in her family, she has earned national attention as a vocalist, a performer and an example for young people of all colors. Unfortunately, her father spent the last five years profoundly ill, largely unable to work, creating a need for Raquel to use her gifts to support her family.
When her father, who was the main source of income when he could work, recently passed away from COVID-19, the Garcia family found themselves without any funds, and need your support.
Raquel, who is bilingual, stepped up to the plate and, even before her father passed, she went to work and supported her family financially doing Latinx private concerts. She also sought to give back to her community.
With her amazing talent, she’s spent the last year, working with manager and promoter Chuck Morris. Next month, she is set to record two tracks with legendary producer Peter Asher, the longtime producer and manager of Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor.
So close to a dream, and yet, because Raquel is the family’s primary breadwinner, there is dire need for financial support for the family. With seven children, ages ranging from 1- to 14-years old, it is a tremendous burden on Raquel’s shoulders.
Active in and around Colorado, Raquel’s involved in several non-profits that she created and uses her voice and platform to better the community around her. Now she needs the community to help her family.
Given the tragedy of the situation, we hope you can contribute and donate funds to this wonderful family during a terrible time. Although Raquel has a very bright future, right now, her family is in a position where they cannot afford to put food on the table and are at risk of losing their home, which is their only asset.
This fund will go, in its entirety, to the Garcia family in an attempt to get them through this extremely difficult and devastating period in their lives. Sometimes it is only a matter of days between losing everything and getting on a path to thriving.
With how much Raquel gives back, it is difficult to ask. But, with options running out, the family needs help. Mr. Morris, who’s been helping with expenses, has agreed to match the first $5,000 that comes in. We are hopeful people will help change not just Raquel’s life, but her entire family’s.
