Help replace Monica’s stolen sentimental items

Donation protected
To know Monica Garcia is to love her, and if you know her you know that she is ALWAYS raising money for someone down on their luck. Once she helped me raise money for 4 children that lost their mom. Recently she helped raise money for a family that had their house and all their belongings flooded during the crazy storm we had in San Diego. Monica is one of the most generous people I know. She’s a stellar human being! I am organizing this fundraiser because she had a terrible and traumatic misfortune. She was robbed. A thief targeted her and stole her purse out of our car while our kids were INSIDE. We were only a few feet away when it happened. My son saw the lurking man peeking in the window, and told us after the fact. My son was too distracted by his phone as it was happening. We are thankful that the criminal was only after the purse and not the children. It’s been traumatizing for all of us to imagine that. The thief had his hands inside our car where our children were! Here is what happened… We stopped on the side of the road because Monica saw a dining table she liked. We were parked very close to the store. She left her purse in the car and the door was open but my husband, children and I stayed in the car. She called my husband and I out briefly. We were only a few feet from the car and in 60 seconds the purse was gone (it was all caught on the security camera). The purse had sentimental value because it had doubled as a diaper bag for her son and the wallet was an anniversary present. On top of the sentimental value of those things there was a phone, a makeup bag, a lot of cash, gift cards and a lot of other things Monica valued. She had left a deposit on the table, but no longer wants it due to the bad memory that comes with it. We’ve had to process and help our kids process that there are evil people in this world. Everyone felt violated! I also know that there are a lot of good people in the world too, and I thought a Go Fund Me can help me show the kids that there are a lot of kind hearted and generous people also in the world. I want to replace or at least attempt to replace all that was lost. Will you help me with a small donation to one of the most generous people I know?
