“Sandra Cabrera and her husband Jose Orellana are the owners of Pupuseria Miraflores located at 4128 Georgia Ave NW, Washington, DC 20011. On Sunday, July 25, they lost their son to a vehicle accident in DC.
Since they operate their business alone and have no other employees, they have temporarily closed the restaurant as they grieve and make funeral arrangements.
We are assisting Sandra and Jose with this GoFundMe to help them with funeral and incidental expenses in this time of need. We are grateful for any contributions you can make.”

“Last Sunday afternoon, July 11, around 5:25 p.m., I was carjacked at gunpoint on the SW corner of Crittenden and 9th Streets NW. I was ordered to drive down what I believe was Buchannan, and ended up in an alley behind 513 Crittenden St, where I was sexually assaulted. The assailant pushed me out of the car and fled the scene.
Here is the police report of the incident.
I’m asking for your help–if you have a security camera (front or rear) or doorbell camera, please check between the hours of 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. that day for any footage that may help the investigation (either footage of the suspect walking around before the crime or driving away afterwards). The suspect was wearing black plastic framed eyeglasses, a white t-shirt, green basketball shorts, and white sneakers. He was a slim build, black male between the ages of 19-22. The car is a white 2012 Chevy Volt with a black roof, license plate MD 9AY5678. (more…)
