My name is Christen Hardy, and I am advocating on behalf of my friend Donald Patrick Jr. On Tuesday January 19, 2021, Donald was leaving work when he was ambushed from behind and shot in the head outside of the Hooters restaurant he managed at in Saginaw, MI. Donald has two daughters, Ladonna, 19, and A younger daughter who is 4.5. Donald was a single father and has had full custody of Ladonna since birth. Ladonna is a graduate of the class of 2019 and he was so proud of her. She is also expecting the birth of her daughter in April. This was Donald’s first grandchild, and he was working dusk till dawn to make sure he would be able to provide for his daughter and grandchild, but due to the actions of a shooter who is still at large that was taken from him. Donald was Ladonna’s primary provider, she resided with him and he assisted her in paying her monthly bills. Due to Donald’s untimely execution outside of Hooters, Ladonna will have to find housing and begin the preparation for the birth of her child without either one of her parents. This fund is being created to specifically assist Ladonna with housing expenses, monthly bills, and the preparation of her newborn daughter in April. Ladonna will use a portion of this fund to provide her younger sister with support. This fund was created with the approval of Ladonna Patrick. The account is setup in her name. Thank you in advance!
