Evil struck our country again yesterday when an 18-year-old gunman named Salvador Ramos opened fire on children and teachers Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. 21 people were killed. The emotional pain and heartache will remain long after today. Families of the victims may not be able to return to work for months, maybe never. Some families don't have the means for the proper burial of their loved ones. The families of the victims of this unfathomable crime, need us. They need our help, support and money.

In donating, authorities are asking that you make sure you are donating to a verified organization.

There are several verified ways to help the victims and their families:

It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we have to create this fundraiser for our cousin Felicia Martinez and Abel Lopez. The Medina family is asking for your help at this time both monetarily, for funeral expenses, as well as prayers for her and her family at this time. Her son was tragically taken along with so many other precious angels today in Uvalde, but we as family, know he is now with his Grandpa Benny in the Kingdom of Heaven. Any bit helps and if you cant help at this time, please lift him and all the parents coping this tragedy and loss, up in prayers tonight. If you cannot contribute at this time a share is greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless our children. -Medina Family
