Mendez Family Fundraiser
Last night in Los Angeles, Raul & I held a Fundraiser for the Mendez Family at J Lounge in Los Angeles, Ca. Our family and friends came together to show their support for Marco, Marie, Gianina & Machito. Our friends and family shared their words of encouragement, positive thoughts, and words of prayer. All shared joy in hearing the latest updates on Marco's health.

News of Marco being transfered out of Intensive Care was received with an enourmous cheer. Mama Mora, Raul, Jose Manuel, Victorino, Patty, Brent and I all spent the afternoon sharing warrior stories about the whole family to all who came to show their support. Everyone signed a beautiful Journal with personal notes for the family that were received by Marie with an open heart. Marie has heard all of your best wishes through our daily conversations but reading your personal notes were a true blessing. In tough times like these your words of encouragement and support are priceless.

With the help of all, we raised $ 2,500.00 in two hours for the Mendez Family. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. In addition we thank those that have sent us letters and card with your generous gifts. We wanted to thank Maricela Garcia, a lifetime friend of the family, for starting the silent auction idea and helping make it a success. The silent auction helped increase the fundraising endeavors. Thank you to all who sent prized donations to help our cause. Our cousins Brenda & Pedro Rincon gave prized USC Football tickets. Our brothers and sisters, Victorino, Patty, Lisa, Ericka and JoseManuel donated items and tutoring services. Our friends Maricela Garcia, Jorge & Patty Garcia, and Jenny & Jim Dover generously contributed Movie Tickets, Limousine Services, and Movie DVDs. We truly appreciate the support.


If you were not able to attend the Fundraiser you're contributions are still kindly appreciated!
