It's been a tough year for the Tomelloso family, to say the least. Within a few months, both Laura and her husband Michael were diagnosed with cancer.

In February, Laura Tomelloso was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It's a tough diagnosis for any family, however, things only worsened after Laura and her family received another devastating call.

Months after her own devastating diagnosis, Laura's husband and Mitchell's brother Michael Tomelloso was diagnosed with throat cancer. Michael joined the United States Marine Corps after high school and served as an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department for 25 years. Laura worked for the FBI but left the agency to homeschool their younger son with special needs.

"It hits close to home when it's someone that's walking the same path in life," said Officer Rob Golden."He has a servant's heart. He's always helped others and put others before him, beginning with his family and the community at large." "Right now, they're using their personal insurance policy," said Golden."They're dipping into retirement. They're dipping into saving to help cover everything.
