Hello, my name is Annabella Garcia and I am trying to raise money to cover the cost of my sister’s, Kristy Garcia, funeral. She was involved in a severe car accident early morning of March 10, 2023 and passed shortly after. Kristy was a proud alumni of Middlesex Community college, where she obtained her associates, and Rutgers University from which she graduated and would’ve walked this spring semester. She was an extremely hard worker, with the purest soul that touched all those around her. We are entirely devastated by this sudden loss and would appreciate any donations to aid during this time of grievance for her funeral costs. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The cause of the wreck remains under investigation.

Anyone with possible information regarding this crash should contact the Somerville Police Department Detective Bureau at 908-725-6900 or 908-725-0331.
