New home for grieving Leon family
Donation protected
On March 17, 2013 my Brother-in-law left to go to his part time job at Domino's Pizza and planned on coming home to the traditional Irish dinner and drinking some green beer. We never saw him alive after he left the house at 10:45 A.M. He was sent out on his first run to deliver a pizza at an address that didn't exist and he should have never have been sent out to begin with given that the order came from a pay phone. He ended up on a street that only the warehouses and trucks use that deliver and pick up from the businesses there. He was abducted, tied up, beaten and forced to make a statement into a recorder about how this was justice for the way the 211 gang was treated in the prison system. He was then shot twice and died. He was killed for his Domino's uniform and pizza box that the killer later used to kill the Colorado Prison Chief, Tom Clements. My Sister was left with her twin daughters who were 4 years old when their Daddy died. My Sister has suffered terribly from this unnecessary loss of her Husbands life. Her little girls have just come to understand why their Daddy didn't come home and that he was murdered by an evil man. This tragedy has left my Sister a different person and a very unhappy and angry woman who grieves terribly for the loss of the love of her life. She needs financial help so her and her children can move to a new home and hope for a fresh start on life, a new normal....away from the horror that has filled the tiny little house they live in....all she wants is a chance at a normal life so her kids can be as normal as possible. The geographics of where she lives is in the same area where many of the people who knew the murderer live and she is scared to even go to the store. She doesn't own the home she is in so she can't sell it and she doesn't qualify for a loan as she isn't working because she is a broken human being......still living but not alive. She lives where gunshots are heard frequently and she is scared a bullet will hit her house and hurt someone. She needs a break....we are trying to find a way to buy her another house, not a mansion or custom home, but one that has more room and she can breathe in and not relive that last day over and over again. My Sister is a good person who just wants to take care of her kids and try to heal from what life has dealt her. If you can help please donate to her cause. I know this sounds like begging and maybe it is. But we are trying to help her and are so worried about her that we are willing to do whatever it takes. My brother-in-law was such a good man. He was a hard-working man who loved his family so much....I can't say enough about him because he was an amazing person to everyone. He didn't have any enemies and always thought the best about everyone. Murder is an ugly horrible thing and until you have it happen in your life you will never understand the grief and pain and anger that goes with it. Unfortunately it never goes away...somehow you find a way to live with it. I would never do this but my Sister has suffered to much and watching my nieces wonder why their Daddy is no longer here is so painful. An evil man took away their Daddy who loved his little girls so very much. He came home from work and playtime began, he had as much fun as they did. Please open your hearts and think about the devastation that has been dealt to the family. Believe me, it is nothing that anyone wants to go through because it hurts so badly and the pain is almost unbearable at times. Once again, if you can help her out, we would appreciate it with all of our hearts. Then she can breathe again and hopefully find herself, and she is a good person. Right now she stays at home with her kids and is such a good Mommy to her little girls. God rewards those who help others out of the kindness of their hearts and Karma will be good to you also. Thank you for taking the time to read our story about our needs right now. If you can't donate then I wonder if you could say a prayer for her and her children and for this plea to work so we can help her and her beautiful girls!! Thank you again,Sarah Tompkins
