BBMAs family honors missing student, questions arise on law enforcement, elected officials - El Camino College The Union
On Thursday, Oct. 15, around noon on the corner of San Pedro and seventh street, the Hernández family, along with friends and volunteers, set up tables and organized an assembly line to feed the homeless community in the Skid Row area, using some of the funds they received in their fundraiser.
“Since we’ve been heavily talking with them [the homeless], we decided it would be a sort of good idea to give back to them because they’ve never asked for anything in return,” Joseph Hernández, Juan Carlos Hernández’s older brother, said. “And so this is how we decided to celebrate and honor my brother.”
One by one, each homeless person was given a bag filled with food and supplies.
The Hernández family provided them with first-aid kits comprised of deodorant, nail clippers, pads, lotion, anti-bacterial gel, washcloths, and more. From there, they were given toilet paper, chips, fruit snacks, mini muffins and fresh fruits and water, among other things.
“I know it’s not a lot, but it’s something,” Yajaira Hernández said.
A smaller missing person flyer was included in every first-aid kit for future reference. Yajaira Hernández said any leftover supplies would be donated to a nearby mission.
]@yajaira hernandez you and your family are seriously amazing[/B].
I agree-- @yajaira hernandez -- you continue to amaze me with your strength, love and hope.
You have rocked it with the groups, website, vigil, sharing and caring for the homeless and all you have done to help find Juan.
You, my dear lady, are a hero and one amazing woman.
