UpLift Johnson County is asking for donations to support the families of the Greenwood Park Mall shooting victims.
Indianapolis residents Victor Gomez, and husband-and-wife Pedro Pineda and Rosa Mirian Rivera de Pineda were killed in Sunday’s mass shooting.
UpLift will match up to $10,000 for the families. The donations will be used to support the victims’ families with funeral arrangements and ongoing needs they face following the loss of loved ones, according to an UpLift Johnson County news release.
Gomez had worked tirelessly to start a successful business as a granite supplier/installer and is described by those who knew him as a kind person who would give people the shirt off his back. He leaves behind a wife and three young children whose needs will extend far beyond just covering funeral expenses after losing their father at a young age, the news release says.
The Pinedas’ had emigrated from a small town in El Salvador to start a new life of promise and hope in the United States, and chose to make the Indianapolis area their home, the news release says.
