In Mathias's memory
Mathias Javier Striar Hernández had a smile and an energy that lit up the room, and he brightened our lives for the 18 years he was with us. Courageous, strong and bright, kind, thoughtful and sensitive, Mathias knew he was deeply loved. He loved deeply right back, especially his parents, Siri Striar and Francisco Hernández. He passed away on Wednesday October 28th, 2020.
Mathias felt passionately about social justice and was especially proud of his parents’ work within the immigrant community, particularly with undocumented students and their families. He communicated this from a very early age, and his belief in the need to support these communities deepened over time. If you would like to give in memory of Mathias’s life, KIND is doing invaluable work in this area.
We are grateful to those who have honored Matthias's memory through past contributions. We invite you to continue this legacy of kindness by making a donation to KIND.
