Christian Herrera

Hi everyone. My name is Samantha and I am starting this GoFundMe for a special family of the North Franklin Community. On January 6th, the Herrera/Chavarria family were at a public event when they were visiting their family during Christmas break. While at this event, a mass shooting broke out. There were many casualties and sadly Christian Herrera (16) was one of them. Christian was rushed to the hospital but passed later that night due to his injuries.

Also, among the victims was his dad, Gilberto Herrera. He has spent many nights in the hospital. Since the incident, he has received major surgery and will be in recovery for a long time to come.

Mom, Karina Chavarria, has been hit with any mothers worse nightmare. As she mourns her son, she has two other children at home, also affected by this tragedy.

This family needs us now more than ever. Please help me show our love and support for them as they try to grieve and heal from a horrific incident. All of the funds that are raised will be used towards their medical bills, and laying Christian to rest.

If you feel more comfortable with Venmo, Please Venmo Karina at @Nadia-Chavarria with last four digits being 4781.

Thank you.
