A local family is mourning the loss of an autistic boy struck and killed by a truck one week ago today.
Now the baseball league David De Santiago played for is organizing a fundraiser to make sure he is remembered on the field.
De Santiago was a player with the League of Dreams, a sports program for disabled children.
Organizers are hoping to place a memorial plaque at the new baseball field at Fruitvale Norris park.
Donations can be made at Terrio Fitness and Kern School Federal Credit Union locations:
