Fundraise established for family of Wichita man killed in DC plane crash
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – A fundraising effort was launched Friday in support of the family of a Wichita man who died in Wednesday night’s plane crash in Washington, D.C. PJ Diaz, a graduate of Valley Center High School, was 30 years old.
The GoFundMe, organized by a family friend, asks for assistance to help Diaz’s family with covering costs and travel expenses to and from DC.
“Raised funds will also help pay for the funeral and any other unexpected expenses during this heartbreaking time,” the GoFundMe said. A note of gratitude for those who donate also asks that people keep Diaz’s family in their prayers.
On social media Thursday, PJ’s mother offered the following statement:
“I don’t post often but my heart is broken and reaching out for prayers for me and my family. My son PJ was on the flight to DC that crashed. Please pray God gives us strength to get through this devastating time. I love you PJ and always will.” -Linda Diaz
