In Memory of Esmeralda Barrera

I didn't know Esme Barrera but am shocked, saddened and horrified by her death at the hands of another human shortly after midnight on New Year's Day. Many people I love loved her though and to know that she worked hard for for girls via the Girls Rock Camp Austin as a coach and mentor and for students with special needs for her regular job is all I really even need to know to understand she was a special person. Reading the loving tributes linked below make this even more heartbreaking. If you have a few dollars to spare today, please consider sending them to the fund to help pay for her funeral and other expenses at For Our Esme. Let us learn about her, remember her and be inspired by her work.
