From a bulletin posted by Carlsbad’s Joey Beltran:
Most of my friends know that my aunt, Rita Martinez, passed away yesterday from her long fight with diabetes. Now comes the ****ty financial side of things. Our family has to raise $4,600.00 by Wednesday for the funeral and all the costs (casket etc.)! Any , I MEAN ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP!!! Rita basically was a second mom to me and my sister. She was a teacher’s aide at North Terrace School in Oceanside for over 20 years in the preschool room. Honestly, the kindest, loving lady i have ever known. She is leaving behind a 11 year old daughter and a a husband.
Instead of buying that round at the bar or that sack of goodies this weekend, please donate to this cause!PLEASE SEND DONATIONS TO:
SALLY BELTRAN
4002 ALTO ST.OCEANSIDE CA 92056
Thank you Joey Beltran!
SanDiegoMMA.net sends it’s deepest sympathies and hopes that we can rally around Joey and his family in his time of need.
