**UPDATE:
Today we found out why it happened were hoping to have the full timeline very soon. The man who murdered her was schizophrenic, in the house she was living in she was taking care of the child of a friend that passed 2 years ago, she promised she would take care of the child and she did just that. On September 30th, 2020 the schizophrenic man Julian Garza tried to kill the child with a knife. Marisa proceeded to protect the child be any means necessary losing her life in the process. She died a Hero and a true friend keeping her promise to the very end. To say her acts were nothing less than extraordinary would be an understatement. She will forever be remembered. Her acts of selflessness and bravery should echo inside all of us especially now in these trying times when just about everyone could use a hand.
We Reached the half-way point to our goal and I want to personally thank everyone who's donated so far and everyone who's read Marisa's story thus far we are truly grateful. Any extra money we raise will be donated to charities and organizations that fight domestic violence and programs to help those with mental illness.
We will keep everyone updated in the upcoming days as more information is released by the police, until then please help by sharing this link with friends, family, aquatints, anyone and everyone possible we want Marisas story to be known.
