Here are pics of the full mural! To see this masterpiece in person, join us tonite (Nov 1st) for the unveiling ceremony!

The mural was commissioned by Donor West, conceived & created by Roberto Romo (artist/muralist), and pays tribute to organ donors and their families. Higher Fire staff also contributed to the mural by creating a large ceramic heart called a Milagro – which has sculptural elements of importance to two particular organ donors whose story is told by the mural.

Hope you can join us! See information in the last slide, and see you this coming Monday for the unveiling ceremony.

We invite you to celebration Roberto Romo’s (@huesomacizo) mural on Monday, November 1st from 5pm to 7pm at Parque de los Pabladores (Corner of 1st Street & Williams).

~ Join us for Dia de los Muertos ofrenda, shared stories from the donor families, Aztec dance ceremony, light refreshments, and more ~

“Nuestra Ofrenda” by Roberto Romo (@huesomacizo) with help from Francisco Rameriz (@fco1980)
This mural is dedicated to all the generous donor families of San José, inspired by two young local donors, Nancy Yahayra Gutierrez and Brandon Castellanos, who gave the gift of life through organ and tissue donation. May they both rest in peace.

Nancy and Brandon are two of the hundreds of Latinx donors who have saved and enhanced thousands of lives through the years. Their portraits rest on either side of the ceramic milagro heart, created by various clay artists from Higher Fire (@higherfire_sj), which encompasses the young donor’s personalities through visual images and symbols.
