"On December 8th, 2024 my siblings and myself unexpectedly experienced the difficult loss of our mother. Our mom was only 57 years old and is leaving behind her three children and six grandchildren and is now reunited with her grandson Luke Sky.

Our mom Estela Zepeda, was not only an amazing mother and grandmother but she was really well loved in the community. She volunteered, offered to make food and would show up to any event that she was invited to. She made friends with everyone and you could always find her walking around Santa Barbara.

Because of this unexpected loss, we are looking to community to extend the same love and kindness that our mom shared the 37 years she was part of our community and family. All donations are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to bring white flowers during services and share with all who knew her.

El 8 de diciembre de 2024 mis hermanos y yo sentimos inesperadamente la difícil pérdida de nuestra madre. Nuestra mamá tenía sólo 57 años y deja atrás a sus tres hijos y seis nietos y ahora se reúne con su nieto Luke.

Estela Zepeda, no solo era una madre y abuela increíble sino que era muy querida en la comunidad. Era voluntaria, se ofrecía para hacer la comida y acudía a cualquier fiesta a la que la invitaban. Se hacía amiga de todo el mundo y siempre se la podía encontrar paseando por Santa Bárbara.

Debido a esta pérdida inesperada, estamos buscando a la comunidad para extender el mismo amor y bondad que nuestra madre compartió los 37 años que ella era parte de nuestra comunidad y la familia. Todas las donaciones son bienvenidas y muy apreciadas.

Por favor, siéntase libre de traer flores blancas durante los servicios.

"Our hearts are broken as we come together to support my dear family friend, Claudia, whose beloved son, Daniel, passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident the day after Thanksgiving. This unimaginable loss has left her family reeling, facing not only the weight of their grief but also the unexpected burden of funeral and memorial expenses.

During a time of joy and celebration for others, the next few days, weeks, and month will be very difficult, as his family adjusts to the reality of living without him.

Daniel was his mom's light . He had an adventurous soul. His loss is deeply felt by his family, friends, and all who were lucky enough to know him. He leaves behind two beautiful children.

In this time of heartbreak, we want to surround Claudia and her family with love and support. Your donations will go directly to easing the financial strain of saying goodbye to Danielle and giving him the farewell he deserves.

No contribution is too small, and every bit helps. If you can’t donate, we ask that you share this page and keep Claudia and her family in your prayers.

Thank you for your kindness during this difficult time. " - STEPHANY MUNOZ

Poem Title: Santa Barbara will be ugly w/o Undocumented Workers

Who will do the landscaping with the utmost care to be presented like the Garden of Eden?

Who will clean the million dollar homes with the utmost attention to detail like if it was screened for HGTV?

Who will prep and cook the food for tourists and foodie influencers so they can say "Santa Barbara is delicious"?

Who will increase the value of your real estate portfolio by building your properties like if it was clockwork?

Who will raise your children while you complain about first world problems?

Who will?

Tell me, who will?

I know and you know, so say it with dignity:

Thank you to our Undocumented community who made (and continues to do so) Santa Barbara a Paradise.

Title: Santa Barbara Local eating Tacos in Mexico City

I think it's pretty cool to see our local legend Katy Perry eating tacos in Mexico City.

The justification of posting this, "Katy Perry is from Santa Barbara" + "Tacos in Mexico City" = Chicana/o related news.
What do you think and ? Taco-worthy news??

Did you know that Katy Perry supports ?! Katy and her father are very supportive of Santa Barbara merchants.

"Hi everyone my name is Vanessa Tovar and I am setting up this for my father Jorge Tovars funeral arrangements.
As quite a few of you know my father has suddenly passed away and has left us all heartbroken Although it’s hard to accept I now know he is back in gods hands ️ This has been extremely hard on myself & my siblings Jessica & Daniel. He was such a good man not just as my father but as a grandpa , son , cousin , nephew , brother & friend. I don’t have much to say or don’t know how to explain all this but we weren’t expecting this at all and can use any help we can get . If you find it in your heart to donate we would appreciate it any donation helps & if you can’t no worries at all just please say a prayer for our family. God bless you all! We love you dad ♥️"
