BROWNSVILLE COMMUNITY HELPS OUT NEIGHBORS IN NEED

Ed.'s Note: The horrific accident that claimed the lives of five Brownsville residents near Victoria, Texas last week has prompted local residents to rally to the families' aid. This morning, friends were collecting donations from passing motorists to help the Chavez and Rodriguez families with medical expenses for the survivors and and funeral expenses to help them bury their dead. We are confident the Brownsville community will answer the call.

If you want to assist them, call John Ramirez at (956) 592-6092. He is in direct contact with John Martinez locally and Abigail Chavez, who remains in a San Antonio hospital. Our condolences and best wishes for the families.)
