Nuestra Ofrenda, painted by Roberto Romo with help from Francisco Ramirez, is more than just a stunning mural - it’s a celebration of life. Located in San José’s SoFA District and unveiled November 1, 2021, the artwork honors the generosity of two young organ donors, Nancy Yahayra Gutierrez and Brandon Castellanos. Featuring symbolic lotería cards, a milagro heart, and a hovering hummingbird and marigold, it beautifully merges Latino culture with a powerful message about organ donation. Let’s remember that one donor can save many lives💛
This mural was created in collaboration with local artists and coordinated by our Street Life team, as part of their ongoing effort to bring meaningful public art to Downtown San Jose.
