DONALD ZAVALA FAMILY BENEFIT

Donald was a life-long resident of Lodi. He was the father of four children and has two grandchildren. On August 16th, Donald became sick and was diagnosed with COVID-19. Within days of being admitted into St. Joseph’s Hospital, doctors determined that his condition had advanced to the point to where he needed to be put into a medically induced coma and on a ventilator. On September 13th he had passed away in the hospital.

Donald has always been a hard worker. Anyone who knows him, knows that. Last year, the pandemic presented its challenges to everyone, Donald included. His recent employment with Tesla was a blessing and the opportunity to get back on his feet. But most people aren’t prepared for a major illness or unexpected tragedy. Bills still fill the mailbox and the phone keeps ringing with those who want to get paid.

 

The Zavala family needs your help. If you would like to help or contribute in another way, please make contact through GoFundMe or you can contact Donald’s daughter's Carmen or Crystal. To those who have been praying, staying in contact with the family, stopping by the house, dropping off groceries, offering help where needed…A HUGE THANK YOU!

 

It’s times like these that make us realize, that life can change in an instant. We never think it’s going to happen to us but when it does, it’s our opportunity to come together as friends, family and as a community to show our love and support.
