Manzanola Martinez Girls
Donation protected
My daughters classmate Bella Martinez and her sister experienced the unthinkable, they were attacked by their own mother. Heads covered with pillow cases and stabbed multiple times. Then the mother attempted to light their mattress on fire presumably with them on it. She finally loaded them into the car and drove off the road into the Arkansas River where a passerby called 911. Police found the mother outside the vehicle and rescued the girls. They are both alive and recovering, unfortunately one is in a wheelchair I am not sure if its permanent. They are with a temporary foster family now but had been neglected prior by their mother and hardly have clothes that fit nor anything else a child should enjoy. Im attempting to raise money for these girls to have some semblance of normalcy return. Some clothes, toys, books, tutoring, food, school supplies and then enough to help them through what will undoubtedly be a long journey. Any amount you are willing to share would be amazing. Details of this case are limited even to those closest because the case is ongoing. Im working with her teacher Mrs. Kerr at Manzanola Elementary to make sure the funds go to the girls. https://www.denverpost.com/2019/04/17/manzanola-woman-attempted-murder-daughters/ The below link is a more graffic account based on court documents viewer discression is advised. https://www.krdo.com/news/top-stories/affidavit-outlines-horrifying-account-of-manzanola-mother-s-attempt-to-kill-daughters/1072129474
