It is with sadness that I write this GoFundMe. My name is Kimberly Usher and on behalf of her sister , Jessica and her mother Martha , I am creating this fundraiser . My friend and my manager of our store , Nicole Perez, was killed this morning in the attack on New Orleans Bourbon Street. She was so beautiful and full of life.

Her 5yr old son Melo is now without his momma, and we are without our friend and dedicated employee. I’m hoping to get some help for her burial expenses and to help her son with expenses he will need to transition into a new living situation.

If you can help, please do. If not, just pray. Pray for all the victims and their families and friends.
