Hello, my name is Sonja, and I’m trying to raise money for my bonus daughter Ikea McKnight’s deceased daughter Dominique. Dominique was a 6-year-old child who was abused, tortured, and forced to live in a dog cage in a home filled with rats and roaches. She was being abused by being starved, left in her own urine and feces, and often beaten and tied up for punishment. This left her only weighing 27 pounds according to medical examiners. Dominique’s story can be found in the Charlotte, NC news.

Ikea and her family are asking for prayers and monetary donations to help bring Dominique’s body home to Fayetteville, NC so she can lay her to rest. She’s asking for donations to help with funeral costs, and legal aid and fees to obtain a lawyer to get justice for Dominique.

No child should ever have to suffer as this sweet angel had to endure for 1 1/2 years. Dominique needs justice and we are asking for your help. Please keep our family in your prayers as we seek justice and lay Dominique to rest. Thank you.
