Magali Guevara Almanza was a vibrant 22-year-old woman, three months pregnant, and devoted to raising her bright, energetic 3-year-old daughter. Her life and the future she dreamed of was cruelly taken away in a devastating hit-and-run accident in the Houston area.

The tragedy didn’t stop there. Magali’s 16-year-old sister was also injured in the crash, and her young daughter, too young to grasp the gravity of the loss, continues to ask for her mother who, heartbreakingly, will never return home.

Police have since apprehended the accused driver, but no amount of justice can truly heal the profound loss felt by Magali’s family and community. The pain runs deep, touching hearts across Texas and beyond.

We ask everyone to hold Magali’s family, her unborn child, and her daughter close in your thoughts and prayers during this unimaginable time. May the memory of Magali’s life inspire compassion and remind us all of the preciousness of every moment.
