Our hearts are heavy with the news that our dear friend, Luis Mercado, was shot in the line of duty while courageously serving and protecting our community.

Luis is more than just a police officer – he's a devoted husband, son, brother and most importantly, a loyal friend.

As he begins what will be a long recovery, it's important to ensure he has all the support needed.

I created this Go Fund Me to help ease the burden of medical expenses and provide financial assistance to Luis and his family during this difficult time. Luis has been added as a beneficiary so he can access donations directly through GoFundMe.

Every donation, regardless of the amount, will make a meaningful difference and show him and his family that they are not alone.

Your generosity will help them focus on healing and recovery, knowing the community and his friends are supporting him.
