In these difficult moments, our community’s strength shines brightest. Yesterday’s tragic events have shaken us, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to those who tirelessly protect and serve our community. A heartfelt thank you to our Sheriff, Tulare County Sheriff's Dept, Porterville Police Department, and all local law enforcement agencies who helped keep us safe. 🚔💙
As many of you know, Candelaria's LDA Services focuses on paperwork and evictions for self-represented clients. I’ve personally collaborated with the Civil Unit and have called for backup when I needed it. I am profoundly grateful for the brave men and women who are willing to put their lives on the line to defend our rights and our community. 🙏📝
To everyone who took a moment to check in on me—your kindness means more than words can say. I love Porterville. I was born at Sierra View, I proudly attended local schools, I own two businesses, and I’m raising my child here. I know Porterville can be even better, and I’m committed to helping our tight-knit community thrive again. 🍊🌱🏙️
Let’s continue to support one another, pray for Officer Hoppert and his family, lift each other up, and work together to keep Porterville safe and resilient. If you or someone you know needs support or resources, we’re here to help. 💪🌟
With gratitude,
Adriana Candelaria
