Support for Jaden Velasquez and His Family

On the evening of Friday, June 13th, 17-year-old Jaden Velasquez—a rising senior at Chase High School—was tragically shot twice while spending time with friends and fellow car enthusiasts at Pop’s. In an act of senseless violence, an individual opened fire into a crowd, and Jaden was struck by two of the bullets.

We are incredibly grateful that Jaden is expected to recover, but the road ahead will be long and challenging. As his family faces the emotional toll of this traumatic event, they are also met with the financial burden that comes with hospital stays, potential surgeries, extensive physical therapy, and time away from work to care for their son.

In times like these, community means everything. We are asking for your support—whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this message—to help ease the financial strain on Jaden’s family and give them one less thing to worry about as they focus on his healing.

Please keep Jaden in your thoughts and prayers for a full and speedy recovery, and surround his family with strength and love during this difficult time.

Together, we can show that no family faces hardship alone.
