Roman Vega is surrounded by members of the North Oxnard Warriors Senior Red team. The team, made up of 13 and 14-year olds, raised $575 during a recent fund-raising carwash for the young boy.

This letter comes with great gratitude for all those who have contributed their support in several fundraisers throughout Ventura County for my son, Roman Vega.
Twice a year, Roman participates in the Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia, Pa., which helps him improve his quality of life living with cerebral palsy.
Each trip costs approximately $10,000. Expenses are not covered by health insurance. Without these fundraisers, Roman would not be able to take these trips.
There have been many supporters in this important cause, and I would like to thank them. Recent supporters include Edison, which has raised money through employee contributions; and Lucy Castellon, who coordinated a carwash with the Oxnard North Warriors, a youth football team.
Also, the Make-A-Wish Foundation sent Roman and our family to Disney World, and I thank them for giving us this awesome memory.
There will be another fundraiser Sunday at the Santa Paula Knights of Columbus hall, beginning at 1:30 p.m. I would like to thank the Knights for donating the hall, El Pescador Restaurant, which will cater the event and the band House Arrest for donating their time. It’s amazing all the love that is out there despite the economic situation our state is experiencing.
Again, with much gratitude and love, we thank everyone.
