Jovanna and her husband, Francisco Calzadillas, were attending the Route 91 Country Music concert where she was caught in the gun fire. Francisco is a police officer for the Salt River Police Department. Almost upon confirmation of Jovanna’s injuries, Francisco’s fellow officers and friends set up a Go Fund Me account to help the family with the medical and travel expenses. To date they have raised $72,526. Employees at the ASARCO Hayden Smelter also took up a collection and raised an additional $3,000.
