Help Garcia and Mooney Families After Tragedy

My name is Liz Garcia, I'm helping organize this for my friend Cyndi Garcia, after the loss of her daughter and son in law. Desiree Paula Noelle and Max Austin Mooney came home to Bakersfield to start their lives together after being away for a few years. Desiree had just celebrated her 30th birthday in January and like any couple were enjoying their lives responsibly. Last Sunday morning, March 16th, they went out and though they made a good decision by contacting an Uber driver to take them home, another girl did not, she chose to drive that morning, under the influence. Her vehicle collided with the one Desiree and Max were in taking both Desiree’s and Max’s lives and injuring not only the Uber driver but others on the road that morning. No parent should bury their children, but it is with that need that I come to you on behalf of the Garcia and Mooney families. Several families lost their children that day, and while some will recover the void of the loss of Desiree and Max will be felt forever.
