Support for the Martinez Family

Donation protected
It is with a heavy heart that I share an incident that occurred to my brother in law, Julio, his wife, Sarah (with baby in tummy) and my 4yr old nephew, Jace. 

Julio and Sarah just bought their new home in the state of Texas! Excited for their new journey together, Julio packed his family's ENTIRE life in California up into a UHAUL, including their car and drove their things from Cali to Texas. Parking his UHAUL in front of his Airbnb to catch some rest, Julio woke up to the UHAUL and car GONE. ALL of their furniture, clothes, TV's, Jace's toys, the new baby's items AND their car were stolen. 

Houston PD has recovered the UHAUL only and cannot disclose what is inside until proper paperwork is provided by UHAUL.  It has now been three days since the incident and Julio and Sarah have not been able to see what has been stolen or not from the UHAUL. Their car, which was also fully packed with their items is still missing. 

Today, with nothing but a suitcase of some clothes, Sarah and Jace fly to Texas to be with Julio and move into their new place. ALL they have right now are those few items of clothing. Though we are hoping not EVERYTHING in the UHAUL was taken, that is something that is still unknown. Their car remains stolen. 

In the meantime, I am creating this Go Fund Me page to relieve the financial pressure they hold, since everything they own has been taken. I hope in the next few days they can buy what they need to sleep on, get some toys to keep Jace occupied and happy, and start saving for a car. 

Any and all donations will help and I ask that you please share this page with all you know. I will continue to update as we receive it. Thank you to everyone for your support for the Martinez family.
