Help Mercedes' Daughters Overcome Tragedy

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are reaching out to you on behalf of three young children who have recently faced an unimaginable tragedy—the loss of their mother Mercedes Ortiz and youngest sibling, who was just 3 years old. Mercedez was taken from them in a senseless act of violence, leaving them with a void that cannot be filled. As they navigate this heartbreaking loss, we are coming together to offer them a ray of hope and stability during this difficult time.

She is survived by her daughters Jade, Samiyah, and Phoenix. They have been thrust into a situation no child should ever have to face. Our goal with this fundraiser is to provide them with the resources they need to heal emotionally, continue their education, and move forward with their lives despite this devastating setback.

Your generous contributions will go directly towards:

Education and Everyday Needs: Ensuring the children have access to education, school supplies, clothing, and daily necessities.

Counseling and Support Services: Providing them with grief counseling and mental health support to help them process their loss and navigate their emotions.

Future Stability: Creating a fund for their future needs, including potential college expenses or other opportunities they may pursue.

No donation is too small, and every dollar raised will make a significant difference in the lives of these children. By coming together as a community, we can show them that despite the darkness they have experienced, there is still kindness, compassion, and hope in the world.

Thank you for considering our cause and for your support during this incredibly difficult time for Jade, Phoenix, Samiyah and our family. Together, we can make a profound impact and help them find some comfort and stability as they embark on their journey forward.
