Hello everyone, Kayla Rocha here. I am incredibly lucky to say that Paul Rocha was my father. Many knew him as the man who would help anyone who asked—the man you went to when your car made a strange noise, because somehow (and I still don’t know how) he could diagnose it and tell you how to fix it without breaking the bank.

My father truly cared about everyone who crossed his path. He was understanding, kind, and compassionate, but he was also always honest and real with you when you needed it most. He left this world far too soon, and there were so many projects he didn’t get the chance to finish—projects that meant so much to him.

It is the hope of both my stepmother, Sabrina, and myself to raise funds to complete the projects that mattered most to my father. And let’s be honest—he wouldn’t have hesitated for a second to do the same for anyone he cared about.

I know he’s watching over us, and I promise to do this exactly the way he would have wanted. Unfortunately, filling those big shoes means I need a little help along the way. Anything you are able to donate will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you all so much in advance for your love, support, and kindness.
