Noriega Family House Fire

On the morning of Sunday, March 14th, our co-worker, Jose Noriega, his wife Miriam, and their three children lost their home and all their belongings in a house fire. While Jose and his family escaped the fire uninjured, they must start over and rebuild what they have lost.

Jose has been an employee of Western Midstream since December of 2017. He is a hard worker that is described by his foreman as “a professional who has great integrity. He always does the right thing, even when no one is looking." He and his wife Miriam have three children: 7 year-old Julian, 3 year-old Marisol, and 19 month-old Jayden. They also have two dogs and a cat that complete their family.

We have set up this GoFundMe to allow an easy route for the employees and contractors of the Western Midstream family to contribute financially to Jose’s family. We know they have a challenging road ahead, and we would like to assist in any way possible. They will need to replace so much of what we often take for granted, including furniture, clothing, bedding, dishes, appliances, and so much more.

We also will be holding a collection drive for food, clothing, and toys, and we'll continue to assist the family in other ways as they move forward. More details to come in the following days regarding the collection drive.
