Support Larry After Losing Everything in Fire

Yesterday, our family experienced an unexpected and heartbreaking loss with the passing of Andrew Ray Ramirez. His sudden departure has left a space in our lives that cannot be filled—a space once occupied by his strength, his love, and his unmistakable spirit. Andrew was a stubborn man in the best way—strong-willed, determined, and never one to give up. But beneath that toughness was a gentle, deeply loving soul who cared so much for his family. He showed his love not just in words, but in the way he was always there when it mattered most. 
<br>
<br>
 Some of our most cherished memories with Andrew were spent fishing together. Those quiet moments by the water, full of laughter, stories, and simply being together, are memories we will hold onto forever. That’s where he was happiest—surrounded by the people he loved. As we begin to process this loss, we are also faced with the financial burden of honoring his life and covering unexpected expenses. 
<br>
<br>
 We are asking for help during this incredibly difficult time so we can give Andrew the memorial he deserves and support the family as they navigate the days ahead. Any contribution, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would mean so much to us. Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us honor Andrew Ray Ramirez’s life.

<div>On December 15th, 2024, <strong>Adriana Shrem's 5-year-old son, Nathaniel Rodriguez, was involved in a tragic car accident in San Bernardino, CA</strong>, where the four other passengers, including his father, his father's girlfriend, and his grandparents, were all killed. Nathaniel survived and was airlifted to the burn unit at UC Irvine, where he is in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We are creating this GoFundMe to help raise funds for what we anticipate to be a long, emotional journey away from her home and ability to work.  <em>The money we raise will allow her to be by  her little boy's side every single day to give him the strength he will need to heal from this unimaginable tragedy.</em></strong>

<div>Stephanie &amp; Jesse Wenker welcomed their 3rd child, a beautiful, healthy baby girl, Sarah Grace on Nov. 13, 2024! Waiting at home were her 2 big, super excited brothers, James(5), and Levi(2.5)! After the Thanksgiving holiday, Sarah had her first emergency ambulance ride due to having extreme difficulty breathing. Sarah was admitted with the diagnoses of RSV, and was placed on ventilators for oxygen. Days are going on weeks, and this little fighter has been at the hospital longer than at home. Sarah then developed hepatitis, needed a blood transfusion, and has had multiple lung collapses. She was transferred to Children’s Minneapolis and is now is on ECMO (lung bypass) waiting for her lungs to heal. She’s keeping mom and dad and all the family and friends on their toes for sure! Grandma/grandpa, friends &amp; neighbors are helping when possible, but mom and dad are tired. They are requesting all the prayers we can offer more than anything, but also could use a little extra help with gas to and from Children’s, parking costs at the hospital, meals, and medical expenses.

<div>In memory of David Rodriguez:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the loss of David Rodriguez, a cherished member of the Niello BMW family. David's journey with us began in 2021, fresh from completing the BMW STEP program, and his dedication and passion for his work were evident from the start. Starting with our MINI brand before transitioning to BMW, David's expertise and commitment propelled him through the ranks, on his way to earn the title of master technician. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Beyond his technical prowess, David brought a chill warmth to our team as he shared his love of his family, his sports teams, and his music. His easygoing nature and genuine kindness made him a friend to all, regardless of team allegiances (even if he did cheer for the Dallas Cowboys!).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>David's love for his family, his passion for sports, and his music were infectious, and he quickly became an integral part of the Niello family. Despite the distance from his core family in Southern California, David found a second home here in Sacramento, thanks to the bonds he formed with his colleagues.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>David leaves behind his beloved partner and girlfriend, Mirasol Gonzalez, and their precious one-year-old son, Dominick "Dom". As the provider for his family, his passing has left them facing both emotional and financial challenges. In this difficult time, we ask for your thoughts and prayers for Mirasol, Dom, and all those who were touched by David's presence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel inclined, we invite you to contribute to this fund to assist Mirasol and Dom with funeral expenses and the transition ahead. Your generosity will help alleviate some of the burdens they face during this trying time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mirasol shared with us that Sacramento became home because of the love and support of the Niello BMW crew, and David's impact on us was equally profound. Let us come together as a community to honor his memory and extend our love and support to his grieving family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your compassion and support during this difficult time. David will forever remain in our hearts, and his legacy will continue to inspire us all.
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Hi, my name is Brayden Yates (20yrs). I am married to Katie Yates, daughter of Lori and Billy Roberts. I am the son of Jeff and Abbey Yates. Beginning early February I noticed elbow pain. Fast forward to now, the burning, numbness, tingling sensations have taken over my whole body along with pain. Now I can no longer walk or get up without assistance from a walker or wheelchair. I have had numerous doctor visits, specialist visits, and have been hospitalized with no clear answers. We have a long road ahead with traveling, hotel stays, medical bills, and eating expenses. I have been unable to work due to the severity of my condition and my wife has had to take off of work for appointments and assist me at home. We appreciate any help we can get so we can continue to push forward for a solution and answers. Thank you!

<div>It is with a heavy heart that I share that my younger sister Alexis Carey left this world on October 24th, 2023 from complications related to meningitis. Our sweet girl was only 13 years old when she passed away. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alexis was an amazing young lady who was taken from us far too soon. She was a bright student, a talented athlete, and a great, dependable friend. She loved to read, sing, swim in the pool, and hike the mountains looking for rocks to collect. One of her greatest passions was cheerleading on the Barstow Aztecs squad for her younger brothers’ football team. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Alexis leaves behind 3 brothers, 4 sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and her parents who are heartbroken without her. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are looking into several ways to keep her memory alive, in the meantime we ask for your support in funding her memorial and celebration of life. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are eternally grateful for everyone’s prayers, support, and love during this difficult time ❤️
</div>

Alexis Carey, 11.26.09 - 10.24.23

“I’m not sure how I got here. Everything happened in an instant. One moment I was going about my business, living life, making dinner, planning something for next weekend, starting a new business, and then somebody in a white coat told me, “I’m sorry, it’s cancer.”  No one is prepared for this moment. No one sees it coming.<br /> <br />David is a husband, father, and grandfather. He is an amazing human who is family oriented, loyal, trustworthy, honest, kind, devoted, compassionate, hard-working, fair, social, determined, assertive, vivacious, intelligent, honest, loves to cook, and loves life!<br /> <br />David was told he has Stage IV Esophageal Adenocarcinoma; the cancer has spread into different areas of his body. In just months of his diagnosis, his health declined tremendously. He began having problems swallowing food and water because of the tumor in his throat. He had a gastrostomy tube (g-tube) placed in his stomach for feedings. <br /> <br />David started his treatment at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC) and has since transferred to The City of Hope. He had two chemotherapy sessions at LLUMC and because his body didn’t respond well to the chemo he was not able to fight off infections and was hospitalized. He was hospitalized for a month with pneumonia, sepsis, kidney issues, low potassium, amongst many other ailments all caused from chemo side-effects. David was unable to hold anything down and lost over a 100 lbs. Doctors requested “nothing by mouth” (NPO) given to David because of the risk of aspiration.<br /> <br />To help him regain strength through nutrition, he was placed on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), for 24 hours a day while hospitalized. He was finally able to come home but is currently still NPO and on TPN for 20 hours a day. He has resumed g-tube feedings and is working on getting better. David has been doing physical therapy and occupational therapy to regain his strength. His wife had to take a leave of absence from work to become his full-time caregiver. <br /> <br />Treatments were stopped to allow David to regain his strength. His last chemo treatment took place on Feb. 5th  at LLUMC. It has been over 2 months since he had chemo but he has fought daily to get stronger and will be resuming chemo on April 10th at The City of Hope. His chemotherapy treatments will be customized and he will be given a lower dosage. His new doctor at COH is including injections to help boost his white blood cells after every chemo treatment, he is including targeted therapies, and immunotherapy. Insurance has denied immunotherapy because it is not considered standard care. Funds are needed immediately in order to continue his medical care and household expenses. <br /> <br />David has not been able to work or put forth energy into his new business. He is a fighter, he is stubborn, and he will get back up every time after being knocked down. He will continue to fight daily, power through the pain, and will not allow cancer to define him. <strong>“Cancer may have started the fight, but I will finish it.”</strong>

My name is Seth Schreiner and I am Laurel’s older brother. My wife, Leanne, and I have talked about how blessed I am to have such a close relationship with my three sisters Laurel, Jill, and Claire. It is hard to imagine it has been fourteen months since we first learned of Laurel’s diagnosis of clear cell ovarian cancer. <br /><br />Matt and Laurel have been married for nineteen years and are the proud parents of Isaac 16, Liv 14, Duren 10, and Jia Jia 9. Up until her diagnosis last year, Laurel’s career as a teacher in a local charter school allowed Matt to transition from his years of pastoral ministry in Southern California to pursuing his Marriage and Family Therapist license (MFT). Throughout the last number of months their family has withstood many ups and downs as Laurel has undergone numerous treatments to battle the cancer. <br /><br />Laurel’s health now requires around-the-clock care preventing her from teaching and Matt from pursuing his education in counseling or working to provide for the family’s financial needs. <br /><br />The Swaney house is a place where friendship, love, and Laurel’s famous cooking continually flow out to neighbors, family, and whomever they happen to meet. Everyone knows that the Swaney’s can be counted on to welcome, support and encourage. Now it is our chance to repay a small amount of that love to them in their current time of need.<br /><br />We plan to alleviate the financial burden the cancer has caused, both now and in the future, our goal is to raise enough money to cover any medical and day to day expenses the Swaney’s will encounter for the next year. This will take some of the pressure off of Matt currently and eventually give them the space to grieve.  <br /><br />Please help by giving to them financially in this tremendous time of need. This is an opportunity to show our love and gratitude to Laurel, Matt, and the whole Swaney family for their sincere friendship and endless support over the years. A donation of any amount will be greatly appreciated and add to providing for their needs. Some of you may also feel led to support the family on a more regular basis by giving monthly. <br /><br />Matt and Laurel are so grateful for the part you have played in their lives and the outpouring of support already extended to them as a family. They want to thank you in advance for any financial support you choose to contribute.<br /><br />“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:19  How neat that we can be a part of God’s plan in providing for the Swaneys?<br /><br />Thank you so much for loving the Swaney's.<br /><br />Seth<br /><br />P.S. Steve Seislove is facilitating the GoFundMe on behalf of the Swaney Family. If you have any questions about giving longer term or for more detail on giving  please contact him at [phone redacted] directly.

On August 20th, 2020, Riverside Police Detective Aaron Brandt passed away after a sudden onset and battle with Acute Leukemia at age 45.  Aaron was a faithful Christian and devoted husband and father.  He will be forever missed by his family, friends, co-workers, and all who were fortunate enough to know him.   <br />Aaron leaves behind his wife Melissa, 14-year-old son James and 10-year-old daughter Ellie.  Melissa had recently decided to depart from being a school teacher to staying home with the kids to teach them at home.  As anyone can imagine, there will be a length of time before paperwork is completed for receiving insurance benefits, and bills will continue to need to be paid in the interim time.  This Go Fund Me is to help cover immediate living expenses for Melissa and the kids.  <br /><br />We thank you so much for outpouring of love during this difficult time.  <br /><br />Aaron, we know you are with Jesus and we will see you again someday.  We love and miss you so much.  <br /><br />2 Corinthians 4:17-18 "For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal".

As this would be a difficult time for anyone, Caitlin is a mother of 4, her oldest being 10. Jynessia is only 8 years old. Caitlin is someone who is always there for people no matter what, she is one of the hardest working moms I know. She doesn’t live around much family. Caitlin works 2 full time jobs and will be missing a lot of work to be able to support her daughter while she goes through treatments. As well as finding help with her other children. No donation is too small and every penny is greatly appreciated. Please send prayers her way.

The Rodriguez family has just suffered a devastating and unexpected tragedy. On Sunday, June 28, 2020, Roberto “Berto” Rodriguez began to have complications breathing after being diagnosed with COVID-19 on June 19th.  Before paramedics could arrive at the house, Berto suddenly stopped breathing. Paramedics took Berto to the hospital but were unable to revive him. He leaves behind a beautiful family, especially his boys,  who are heartbroken beyond belief. All donations from this fund will go directly to his services and any additional expenses that may arise. Thank you so much for your love and care as we shower this family with all the support we possibly can during this difficult time.

Daniel and Mario Rodriguez, Berto's sons will be handling his final expenses. <strong>Many Blessings and Prayers to all of you during these turbulent times.</strong>

<p>In November of 2017, I vividly remember getting a call from Sherry (Mike’s wife) telling me Mike was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Prostate Cancer.  Although we were all hopeful his battle would end with a “survivor” title, sadly it did not.<br /><br />Mike lost his battle to this terrible disease on January 16th in Redlands, California with his immediate family by his side.  
</p>

<p>My heart breaks to think I won’t hear Mike cracking a joke this Super Bowl Sunday, what would be his 53rd birthday; but more importantly it breaks for my dear friend Sherry and their precious children Kyle (17) and Ashley (15).<br /><br />It is my hope in setting up this Memorial Fund, that it will help finance some of the funeral expenses, the up-coming senior expenses for Kyle, and the forth coming college expenses for both of the children.<br /><br />Thank you for reaching out to the family with love, words of encouragement, meals, gift cards, flowers and most importantly prayers!  They appreciate all the love and kindness they have been surrounded with, please continue to bless them in the days ahead.<br /><br />With love,<br />Michele<br /><br /><br /><br />

Please pray for my little great-grandson, Daniel. He's in the children's hospital. They determined that his brain has a tumor. They have not told us yet if it's hard or soft, cancerous or not. They will likely either treat it with chemo or surgery. We believe it’s in an area of the brain that is seldom cancerous. We are all very concerned.<br /><br />Daniel went from being a very cheerful, happy wonderful, little, boy to a little boy who slept all the time. He would sleep all afternoon and he even fell asleep in class once, but the doctors were most concerned when we realized his smile looked funny. Only smiling on the left. The facial droop was the reason they sent him to the emergency room.<br /> Next thing we knew was that he was in the Loma Linda children’s hospital in ICU.<br /><br />Below are a few of the text messages sent out to us by Daniel’s mother, Alison sent out to us;<br /><br />12-15-2018, The MRI was of both his brain and spine, Doctor said the MRI showed nothing on the spine, just the brain, so we are waiting for the Neurosurgeons.<br /><br />12-15-2018, Just saw MRI. Pretty scary. Large tumor and deep. Putting pressure on brain stem which is why he is still so tired even after they have relieved some of the pressure. Looks like it starts in the middle and grows out to the left which is why he has weakness on the right. Because of the size and location, his doctor does not think it could all be safely removed in surgery. They sent out some of the fluid they have drained from around it for tumor markers and we are waiting for those results. If they are unable to narrow down what kind of a tumor it is we will be looking at surgery likely on Tuesday so they can get tissue for a biopsy. Depending on the type of tumor we may be able to treat it with chemo or other options. Looks like we will be here for a while<br /><br />12-16-2018, They moved us to a new room. It’s similar in size to the other room but they offered us the option to move so we could have a window and closet space… Daniel is eating some dinner and feeling pretty good.<br /><br />12-17-2018, The fluid they tested was not able to give any information about the kind of tumor it is. We will be planning to have surgery. I don't have the details yet but I will let you know when it is scheduled. They need tissue from the tumor so it can be tested and we can make a treatment plan.<br /><br />12-17-2018, Surgery scheduled for tomorrow at 9 am.<br /><br />12-18-2018, He just went [to surgery]. Time estimate is 3-6 hrs.<br />12-18-2018, I haven't seen him yet but they just told us he is finished with surgery and he did well.<br />12-18-2018, 4:29 PM, We just moved him back to his room. He is doing well.”<br /><br />We now are waiting for the results of the biopsy and hopefully, they will have a treatment plan.<br /><br />Joshua and Alison have three other children and of course, they are completely devastated by this turn of events. The additional costs of travel, eating out, babysitters, and everything else, are mounting up and they haven't even started to receive the additional medical expenses. Any gift you can bless them with will help relieve this financial burden. <br /><br />Please pray for Daniel, his parents, and his family. <br /><br />So far, friends, family members, and their church have been a blessing at helping out with the additional labor needs. <br /><br />We hope and pray that God will provide a path for complete recovery. Thank you all for your prayers and support.

On behalf of the Earl family we are asking for your help with funeral expenses. Our son, brother, nephew, grandson, Collin, passed away suddenly on May 31st. (Only 20 days after his first birthday.) He was a happy little guy, always bringing a smile to everyone he saw. He loved to eat and growl :). He never quite learned to walk, he decided to fly instead. We will always be grateful for the 385 days we had to love him and watch him grow. The love he gave to us will remain in our hearts.<br /><br />Any money we raise will go to his parents Justin and Lacey for the cost of this little guys funeral.

<img class="not-resizeable" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/29942256_15265717520_r.jpeg" alt="" width="100%" />￼This is not my story to tell but I will do my best to share it honestly and accurately. My junior year Mr. Rice was the person who helped me to gain the self confidence and rid me of the intense guilt I had when it came to seeking help for my anxiety and depression. Just as Mr. Rice empowered me to get the help I needed I want to do the same for him and his family. Mr. Rice has been battling prostate cancer for multiple years now. He was in remission and off his medication for some time but recently the cancer came back and he has been required to restart his medication. In addition to this at the end of last year Mrs. Rice was diagnosed with breast cancer. She received a double mastectomy and is also in need of various chemo treatments. The most recent developments to their story is Mrs. Rice’s emergency appendectomy. It is still unknown whether the issue with the appendix has any relation to the cancer or not. The charge for the MRI before this procedure alone will cost the Rice family $3,000. That isn’t even taking into account the fact that Mrs. Rice needed to stay in the hospital for seven days after the surgery to fight off the infection before she could resume her chemo. My goal is to help cover as many medical bills possible starting with the money for Mrs. Rice’s MRI. (We have already surpassed this goal!! 5/17/18) Mr. Rice has impacted the students of ACA in insurmountable ways and this is our chance to give a little of what he has given to us back.

Bradley was a victim of a senseless act of violence at his school Wednesday morning. School should be a safe place to send our kids, where our minds are free of worry. Bradley was rendered unconscious and still has not woke up from his coma. He is making progress every day and his doctors and the neurologists are optimistic. His family has not left his side, taking time off of work and staying at a hotel to be close to their baby boy. Your donations will help with medical expenses, lodging, food, and the necessities needed to stay right by Bradley's side, and all funds will go directly to his caring parents. Thank you so much for your support and prayers; they are needed to get us through this tough time.

Our Boy, Bradley

On Saturday, November 12th, the McNutt family tragically lost their mother, Misti.  Friday night, while Misti and Bryant were preparing to leave for a date, Misti fell hitting her head on their tile floor.  The fall gave her a severe headache and they canceled their plans.  As her symptoms worsened, Bryant was concerned and wanted to take her to the hospital but she assured him she was okay.  He continued to monitor her throughout the night.  He woke at up around 1 am to check on her and she was unresponsive.  <br /><br />Misti leaves behind three young children, Macyn-7, Peyton-4, and Levi-2.    This account has been set up for those that wish to contribute to a childcare fund in lieu of flowers to assist with the unexpected expenses Bryant now faces.   Misti's family appreciates your love, prayers and support.

Hi Everyone,<br />I come to all of you with a saddened heart. A young life was taken from this world yesterday evening. Jessica Falla was involved in a single car roll over in Daggett and unfortunately pronounced dead a few hours later at the hospital. This young lady was barely 18 years old. A respectful, loving, young woman, and so very full of life. While there are no words to express to the family in this tragic time, I am asking for support to raise money and help the family with any medical and funeral costs. A sad day when a parent must bury a child so please come together to help the Falla family and give them one less thing to worry about as they deal with losing such a bright soul. Please give any amount you can so this wonderful young lady can be properly laid to rest as soon as possible. Jessicas dad is a good friend of mine and I am very appreciative of anything you can give, thank you for your time.

It has only been nine months since their son’s first open heart surgery. However, this time there is a risk of losing the life saving doctors and facilities that Liam has had access to.<br /><br />It was only the second day of Liam’s life when he was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). A (TOF) heart has four major defects that are life threatening if not corrected through surgery. But, even when repaired through multiple surgeries, TOF is a life long condition.  <br /><br />By the third month of Liam’s life, this baby boy went into heart failure. His parents where told that he would have to have his first open heart surgery soon. Liam underwent open-heart surgery for the first time at four months old. In the process "we almost lost our precious child twice," but Liam, a name that means strong-willed warrior, pulled through.  <br /><br />Other than being underweight, Liam has been doing well, laughing and dancing as he slowly grows. So it was unexpected in May when his parents were told that Liam must undergo a second open-heart surgery. The surgeon’s plan is to repair and replace sections of Liam’s heart’s pulmonary valve so that his little heart doesn’t need to work so hard to get oxygen to his body.<br /><br />Upon facing this seemingly endless nightmare, the family now finds themselves doing so with less income and without the high quality insurance they had before. The parents have no other options but to "be strong and fight for our son's life." Doing this means keeping Liam's current doctors and access to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.  However, it also means even more medical bills, less work, and no government assistance for this working family.<br /><br />For these reasons we are asking for your help. Liam's parents have tried to bare the weight of this finanicial burden, but can no longer do so alone. All donations will go directly towards Liam's current and future medical expenses. Please remember, your donations will help pay for the medical procedures that will lengthen the life of this beautiful, playful, baby boy that we love so very much.<br /><br />Ruth P.<br /><br />Liam y sus padres se encuentran pasando la peor experiencia de su vida. Sólo han sido nueve meses desde la cirugía de corazón abierto del pequeño Liam. Sin embargo, quizás esta vez el pequeño Liam no tendrá acceso a los médicos y el hospital de renombre que le salvaron su vida en la primera cirugía.<br /><br />Como algunos de ustedes sabrán, en el segundo día de la vida de Liam fue diagnosticado con tetralogía de Fallot (TOF). Quiere decir que su corazoncito tiene cuatro principales defectos que son potencialmente mortales si no se corrigen mediante cirugía. Pero, incluso cuando reparado a través de múltiples cirugías, TOF es una condición del que Liam no se curará por completo.<br /><br />Durante el tercer mes de su vida, a Liam lo diagnosticaron con insuficiencia cardiaca. Los doctores dijeron que tendría que someterse a su primera cirugía a corazón abierto con urgencia. Liam fue sometido a una cirugía a corazón abierto por primera vez a los cuatro meses de edad. En el proceso, los padres de Liam dijeron: "Casi perdimos nuestro precioso hijo dos veces", pero Liam, su nombre significa guerrero tenaz, salió triunfante. Aparte de la falta de peso, a Liam le ha ido bien, el se ríe y baila, es un pequeño de muy buen humor. <br /><br />En mayo, los doctores les comunicaron a sus padres que Liam tendría que someterse a una segunda cirugía de corazón abierto. El plan del cirujano es reparar y reemplazar secciones de la válvula pulmonar del corazón de Liam para que su pequeño corazón no tenga que trabajar tan duro para traer oxígeno a su pequeño cuerpo.<br /><br />Como si estas malas noticias no fueran suficiente, la familia se encuentra ahora con menos ingresos y sin aseguran medica de alta calidad que tenían antes. Los padres de Liam no tienen otra opción mas que "ser fuerte y luchar por la vida de nuestro hijo." Hacer esto significa mantener los médicos y el hospital Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Sin embargo, también significa aún más gastos médicos, interrupción de trabajo, y sin ayuda del gobierno.<br /><br />Por estas razones estamos pidiendo su ayuda. Los padres de Liam han intentado asumir la carga financial, pero ya no pueden hacerlo solos - necesitan su ayuda. Todas las donaciones irán directamente a los gastos médicos actuales y futuros de Liam. Por favor, recuerden, sus donaciones ayudarán a pagar por los procedimientos médicos que alargarán la vida de este hermoso niño juguetón que amamos tanto. Gracias y que Dios los bendiga.

It is now confirmed this will not be happening. While we mourn the great loss that Robert and at least 13 other families face this morning, we can do our small part to help bring some comfort to his family. We will continue sending our prayers and thoughts to them but we will also show our grieving through action. This fund has been set up to help with the needs of Summer and Savannah in the following days, weeks, and months of life without their cherished Robert. <br /><br />We are a group of her momma friends, all bonded by a birth month, who don’t know what else to do. So this is how we make sense of what makes NO sense. We give and we let her and Savannah know that as difficult as it will be, they will never walk alone. Your generous contribution to helping Summer during this difficult time would be greatly appreciated. <br /><br />Please share this page on every social media network you have and always keep Robert, Summer, and Savannah in your thoughts. #prayersforSB #prayforSanBernardino
