On the afternoon of December 6, 2021, in Coachella, a fire started in the home of my parents, Pancho and Luchy. While most are getting ready for Christmas, these two wonderful retired grandparents are thinking how they can rebuild. The home was their safe haven in retirement and a place where now, they spend raising three of their grandchildren. Getting ready for the holidays, they have lost most all their belongings and their grandchildren’s, including all the newly bought Christmas presents.
Luchy and Pancho provide with all of the needs of their three grandkids, as they are their legal gaurdians. Ruben is 13, Bella is 11, and Samantha is 7. They love going on bike rides with their grandparents around the community. They go shopping together, enjoy the beach and attend church regularly. These 5 are inseparable. The kids call them Ama and Apa. They are Mom and Dad to these kids and their bond is like no other. Pancho and Luchy are doing a fantastic job in caring for them. The loss has shocked this family, but they are strong together. Help us bring the stability back.
Now they have lost all their possessions. The home has it's bones, so there is a start to build upon. We are hoping to help with raising funds to help them rebuild and a new start for this family. Whatever you can give would be a tremendous help to this family. A family that while most in their age is enjoying retirement, these two have stepped up and taken care of their grandchildren’s most basic needs, being in a loving home, with a stable foundation. We thank God the foundation in this home is solid as are these two wonderful people. So we hope you can help them build up their home to fit this family’s needs due to this tragic fire. Thank you and God bless you. https://gofund.me/9278175f
