Memorial for Michelle Benavidez

In the early morning of May 14, 2021, my daughter Michelle A Benavidez was murdered at the Florin rd light rail station in Sacramento, Ca. Before the arrest all I knew was that she was murdered. Now after the arrest I was told not only was she KILLED, she was BRUTALLY RAPED and SEXUALLY ASSAULTED. She was my only child, and was my EVERYTHING. I know as the court process goes on, we will learn more and more about that tragic day in the up coming discoveries. I have recieved an approval to do a mural at the place where her life was taken. This tragedy left an indelible mark on the community. Michelle was an amazing human being, and has touched so many with her infectious laugh. She was so full of life and loved by many.

I know the mural will not bring my beautiful daughter back. But her face is one of many that I will not let be forgotten by the community. I feel this will be a powerful and impactful statement in her honor.

I ask that you help me by raising the funds we need to accomplish this for her. Thank you in advance for all your support. I know if she was here she would say thank you as well.
