On November 19, 2025, our community suffered an unimaginable loss. Carlos Hernandez, often called Carlitos, a bright and kind-hearted 14 year-old boy was tragically taken from us. His life was full of promise, joy and love, and his absence has left a hole in the heart of his family, friends, and everyone who knew him.

No parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing a child, and in this time of grief, we want to come together to support Carlitos' family. The funds raised will go towards burial and memorial expenses, counseling and emotional support for the family, and for helping the family manage day-to-day needs during this difficult time. 

Every contribution, no matter the size, is a way to show love and solidarity. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page so we can reach as many caring hearts as possible. Carlitos will always be remembered for his laughter, his kindness, his infectious giggles, and the light he brought into the lives of others. Let's honor his memory by surrounding his family with compassion and support.

Thank you for keeping Carlitos and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
