Hi everyone, I wanted to acknowledge something that hasn't been talked about much in the discussions around the tragic loss of Severino "Elias" Gutierrez. While it’s clear the community has been amazing in supporting his family through the GoFundMe and various memorials, I think we need to consider the long-term emotional and psychological impact on his daughter, who has gone through something no child should ever experience. Being only seven and witnessing such a traumatic event, it’s crucial that she gets all the support she needs to heal. It’s heartening to see the community rally around her, but I think ongoing support, like counseling and safe spaces to express her grief, will be vital. Does anyone know if there are initiatives or organizations involved in providing her with consistent care? Our communities often underestimate the long-term effects of trauma on children, and I hope this case brings more awareness to the necessity of mental health resources in these times. If anyone has suggestions on how we can contribute to ensuring she gets what she needs, please share. This young girl deserves to find some peace after everything she's been through. Thank you for keeping this conversation alive and for the continuous support of Elias's loved ones. Stay safe, everyone.
