Support for the Family of Mario Sandoval

“So many things to say and acknowledge about our Mario but too many tears to fight through to get it all out, but I will do my best.

Mario Sandoval was a loving life partner, a father, a son, a brother, a friend and so much more. His time here was undoubtably cut far too short, and that absence will forever leave a void in so many lives. This is a man that can never be replaced.

Mario is well known for his life-long involvement in the car and racing scene, over a decade of dedication to his patients in the medical field, his rambunctious charades with family and friends, his undeniable urge to help those in need with nothing expected in return, and his absolute adoration for his own little family. His role as a provider in our household was his pride and joy. He simply touched lives far and wide—as well as literally saving the lives of a few. I once watched him stop at the scene of an accident and run towards a car on fire to pull the driver out. And just this year he pulled a young woman out of her flipped-over car on an icy road saving her from further danger, and then a week later I watched him bring our unconscious niece back to life in our own home. His natural instinct was to protect, provide and serve. He healed and loved us all in so many ways… and I feel that all I can do currently to repay him, is to remember his love and ensure his children and all that he worked endlessly for, is somehow secured.” ~Christine Ashley Cardona

With all of this in mind, we have created this GoFundMe campaign to honor Mario’s memory and to extend a helping hand to his family by relieving some of the financial burdens and compulsory expenses over this next period of their lives, as they all attempt to heal and put some of the pieces back together after the devastating loss of their beloved father and husband.

Any funds raised beyond immediate needs will be used towards establishing a more secure future for his children.

Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated for the impact that it is guaranteed to have on Mario’s family in their particular moment of need after such a significant loss.

Thank you for your kindness and empathy.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Ruth A. Muñiz and the Sandoval Family
