Two local businesses, The Cake Bar and Herbert's Tex-Mex Restaurant, are raising funds for the family of Alex "Bubba" Nunez, a 27-year-old father who was killed in a head-on collision over the weekend.

Nunez was a friend of The Cake Bar owner Debbie De La Cruz's son, so they knew immediately that they wanted to help the family in any way they could.

"Initially, our thought was providing desserts for the reception after the funeral," De La Cruz said.
