DCH Auto Group Temecula helps a local Cancer Warrior

From L-R: Murrietta Family-daughter Bella, mother April, son Logan, daughter Savannah , DCH Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Temecula employee Bree Contreras, Don’t Worry Be Happy Foundation Board Member Mina Buc and Jim Buc.  DCH Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Temecula General Manager Eric Willis
Undoubtedly, we have all been touched by cancer in some way.  So when DCH Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Temecula employee Bree Contreras met Don’t Worry Be Happy Foundation Board Member, Erin Ferrell, Bree became inspired and knew that her DCH Auto Group Temecula family could help. 

With the support of DCH Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Temecula General Manager, Eric Willis and DCH Honda Acura of Temecula Kenneth Colson, the dealerships were able to raise $500 in one day to donate to the Don't Worry Be Happy Foundation (http://www.dwbhshirts.org/) and help a struggling Cancer Warrior’s family pay their bills.

Our local Warrior is Logan Murrietta. 

The Murrietta’s, a one income family, had two young daughters when they were blessed with the arrival of Logan. When Logan was diagnosed with a form of children’s eye cancer called retinoblastoma, their lives turned upside down.

Life has turned into long trips to CHLA where Logan is being treated. The long trips to Los Angeles, the stay overs there, the huge deductibles and lost hours at work are taxing the Murrietta’s pocketbooks. Any parent knows that they would gladly trade places with their child with cancer, so imagine the worry that fills the Murriettas. DCH Auto Group Temecula’s donation will allow the Don't Worry Be Happy Foundation to continue helping people trying to beat cancer stop worrying about finances so they can focus on healing.

Logan is nearly nine months old and with his treatment is continuing to get better.
