It is with the deepest sadness that we do this. On November 22, our family suffered a great loss. Our uncle, father, brother and cousin Joaquin Revuelta Galvez passed away.

Our uncle was a victim of a hit and run. He was struck by a vehicle on his way home from church. The vehicle didn’t even bother to stop and help my uncle or call 911. Our family is grieving his loss.

It is with a broken heart that we ask for donations. Any amount, no matter how big, will be greatly appreciated. All the money donated will be allocated to the funeral services of my uncle Joaquin.

He leaves behind his two children and his partner of several years. Thank you very much.
