Our brother, Michael Ramirez, turned 27 on June 19th and his girlfriend surprised him with a camping trip to the Keyesville Campground on the Kern River. Thursday evening while setting up camp the temperature was over 110 degrees.  Unaware of the danger, Michael jumped into the Kern River to cool off and was swept away in the current. 
A small army of his friends and family are now spending every day hunting along miles of the Kern River for Michael.

Please help us find our brother. Our family and his friends desperately need donations of any kind; funds, supplies, volunteers.

We have calculated costs and estimate that supplies, food and water, as well as room and board for the volunteers searching will be approximately $13,000 per week. Our initial goal is to raise this amount so we can keep the search effort going. We have about 15-20 people continuing to search for our brother at this time.  We would be forever grateful for any/all donations whether they are money, supplies or volunteering to help in the search.  

Any help that you may be willing and able to offer would be a tremendous help to our family.  Please pray that we find Michael soon and for our family.

Thank you,

The Ramirez Family
