Fund A Hero: 

Fallen Officer Samuel Riveros

Campaign Goal: $50,000

On May 31, 2025, Officer Riveros was shot and killed during an intense gun battle with an armed suspect while attempting to rescue another injured police officer. Officer Riveros was a member of the Baldwin Park SWAT team, an avid snowboarder, a dedicated Dodgers fan, and was known for his infectious smile.

 

The funds raised will go to Officer Riveros’s family to help cover funeral costs and other related expenses. We are forever grateful to the law enforcement communities who have reached out to us during this incredibly difficult time. Any donations are deeply appreciated.
