For 4-year-old (or rather, soon to be 5-year-old) Raiden Gonzalez, this year has been one of unimaginable loss.
In the span of only four months, the coronavirus stole both his mom and his dad from him. And now the toddler is preparing to celebrate his very first birthday without his beloved parents by his side.
But despite the grief that will undoubtedly shroud that day, his family is determined to make his fifth birthday special so that little Raiden knows just how loved he truly is. In order to do so, they're asking their community of San Antonio, Texas, for a little help.
