Jose (who also goes by Jesse) has been one of Santa Cruz Little League's most-committed umpires over the past couple of years. While out walking his dog Buddy on Thursday, April 27th, Jose passed near a group of people arguing. One of the people involved fired a gun and Jose was hit by the stray bullet. The shooter has not been found.



Jose is going to be OK, is in good spirits, and is home recovering, but he won't be able to umpire any time soon. So, he has lost one of his sources of income at the same time that he has a bunch of medical bills.



Please consider making a donation to help Jose get through this challenging time -- and back to Harvey West Park!
