<div>Talia Sanchez was a beloved daughter of Sixto and Venus Sanchez, devoted and loving mother of her 7-month-old baby boy, Levi. On February 11th, a series of events led to her mother requesting the police to Talia’s Fort Worth apartment, and after many hours of waiting for search warrants and hoping for the best, we were confronted with the worst. Talia had been murdered and her baby boy Levi was missing. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the next couple of days, Sixto and Venus lived the worst possible nightmare you can imagine. Frantic searching for Levi, the hunt for a murderer who was on the run and trying to grapple with how to navigate life without Talia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When Levi was finally located, he was far from home, across state lines in New Mexico. New Mexico CPS received custody of Levi and placed him in foster care, and Talia’s parents began the complicated legal quest to secure guardianship of Levi to bring him back home to Texas. At this very moment, Levi remains in foster care in New Mexico. Last night on February 12th, we finally received word that Talia’s murderer had been arrested in El Paso, Texas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Talia was taken from us in a senseless act of violence leaving behind her precious son and a community that cherished her deeply. Talia’s love for Levi was undeniable—she poured into her son the same unconditional love we all experienced from her. Her warm love and joy seemed to just radiate off her; it was impossible for anyone not to feel it. Baby Levi will never get the opportunity to receive the years of love his mother had in store for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But <strong>there is hope</strong> for building a future for a child who is a victim of violence. A hope to have Levi in a safe and loving home that Talia would want for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are turning to the community for help to make this hope that we have real. A death is always a hard thing to navigate, but the extraordinary circumstances of this one has created unique challenges, and expenses, that Talia’s parents, Sixto and Venus, are being forced to bear.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are seeking support for two critical areas:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Funeral and Memorial Costs:</strong> To honor the memory of Talia who brought so much joy and life to the world and give her the dignified farewell she deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Legal Representation for Levi:</strong> Talia’s parents, Venus and Sixto, are now entering a complex legal battle to secure full custody of Levi. We need to ensure they have the best legal counsel to bring Levi home permanently to the safe, loving environment Talia wanted for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything beyond what is asked for will be used to help Venus and Sixto navigate the financial burdens of missing work, and providing for any needs baby Levi might have once he is released from CPS and back home with his loving grandparents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your generosity, we can honor Talia and help her family through this unimaginable time. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this link on your social media or with your local community groups.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every share helps Talia’s story reach someone who might be able to help.

<div>Talia Sánchez era la hija querida de Sixto y Venus Sánchez, madre devota y amorosa de su bebé de 7 meses, Levi. El 11 de febrero, una serie de eventos llevaron a su madre a solicitar a la policía que se presentara en el apartamento de Talia en Fort Worth. Tras muchas horas esperando órdenes de registro y esperando lo mejor, nos enfrentamos a lo peor. Talia había sido asesinada y su bebé Levi estaba desaparecido. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Durante los siguientes días, Sixto y Venus vivieron la peor pesadilla imaginable: una búsqueda frenética de Levi, la búsqueda de un asesino prófugo y la lucha por sobrevivir sin Talia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cuando finalmente localizaron a Levi, estaba lejos de casa, al otro lado de las fronteras estatales, en Nuevo México. El Servicio de Protección Infantil (CPS) de Nuevo México recibió la custodia de Levi y lo colocó en un hogar de acogida, y los padres de Talia comenzaron la compleja búsqueda legal para obtener la tutela de Levi y traerlo de regreso a Texas. Actualmente, Levi permanece en un hogar de acogida en Nuevo México.  Anoche, 12 de febrero, finalmente recibimos la noticia del arresto del asesino de Talia en El Paso, Texas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Talia nos fue arrebatada en un acto de violencia sin sentido, dejando atrás a su preciado hijo y a una comunidad que la apreciaba profundamente. El amor de Talia por Levi era innegable: le transmitió a su hijo el mismo amor incondicional que todos experimentamos de ella. Su cálido amor y alegría parecían irradiar de ella; era imposible no sentirlos. El bebé Levi nunca tendrá la oportunidad de recibir los años de amor que su madre le tenía reservados.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Pero hay esperanza de construir un futuro para un niño víctima de violencia</strong>. La esperanza de tener a Levi en un hogar seguro y amoroso, como Talia hubiera deseado para él.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recurrimos a la comunidad en busca de ayuda para hacer realidad esta esperanza. Una muerte siempre es difícil de afrontar, pero las circunstancias extraordinarias de esta han creado desafíos y gastos únicos que los padres de Talia, Sixto y Venus, se ven obligados a afrontar. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Buscamos apoyo para dos áreas críticas:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Gastos funerarios y conmemorativos:</strong> Para honrar la memoria de Talia, quien trajo tanta alegría y vida al mundo, y brindarle la despedida digna que merece.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Representación legal para Levi</strong>: Los padres de Talia, Venus y Sixto, se encuentran en una compleja batalla legal para obtener la custodia total de Levi. Necesitamos asegurarnos de que cuenten con la mejor asesoría legal para que Levi regrese de forma permanente al entorno seguro y amoroso que Talia deseaba para él.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Todo lo que exceda la cantidad solicitada se utilizará para ayudar a Venus y Sixto a afrontar las cargas financieras derivadas de la ausencia del trabajo y para cubrir cualquier necesidad que pueda tener Levi una vez que sea dado de alta de CPS y regrese a casa con sus queridos abuelos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con su generosidad, podemos honrar a Talia y ayudar a su familia en este momento inimaginable. Si no puede donar, considere compartir este enlace en sus redes sociales o con sus grupos comunitarios locales.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada vez que comparta esta información, la historia de Talia llegará a alguien que podría ayudar.
