On Thursday, April 3 the lives of the Ochoa family were uprooted.
A man ransacked their home, robbed them of everything valuable such as a flat screen television and money they had in the home at the time.
The family clothing was used to set the garage on fire.
Red Cross has placed the family of five in a hotel until Sunday.
The family is low income.
The Ochoa’s have no money to move into a new home. Their plans are to stay with family members and friends till they have enough to get a new home.
A “Gofundme” account has been set up to help fundraise so they can put their lives back together.
Those who can help can donate to the family by visiting http://www.gofundme.com/825lpc
Food and clothing donations are welcome as well.
Contact staff writer alexisbustamante1995@gmail.com for arrangements of donations to the family.
