Sia is a business owner in Vandergrift, PA. She owns an indoor playground named the Sia Center for children which she opened March 24th, 2024. Not only has this center become a staple for the Vandergrift community where parents can bring their kids to play safely during days with not much else to do, she's also given back to her community immensely.

On December 20th, 2025 at 2:50 am two armed men kicked the door into my dear friend Sia's house. She woke up with a gun to her head and the men stole her safe with her emergency funds, her check books, her and her son's personal documents, and much more. They also stole her firearms and her cell phone.

In addition to the material things they stole, they stole her home that she bought and freshly renovated for her and her son to have forever. They also stole her mental wellbeing, her security, and so much more that will take a long time to recover.

Sia is a single mother, and she has always worked so hard for not only what she has, but also to help the people and community around her. When there was a devastating house fire in her community, she held a clothing drive for the suffering family. This November when people were struggling with food insecurity, she held a food drive. She's never asked anyone for a dime for anything. Even when the Sia Center flooded, she didn't ask for a dime. She took on every expense by herself so that she could continue to serve her community. Sia has shown time and time again the type of person we all should strive to be.

The first thing Sia asked the gunmen in her home was if she could write her son a letter if they were going to kill her. Her beautfiul son Kai relies on her more than anyone, and while he wasn't home that night, a mother's biggest fear is their children living in this world without them. And as for parents, Sia is the only one Kai could rely on. Now, this woman who has worked for more than half a decade to make sure they were provided for and had a forever home is starting completely over. She cannot go back to the house she spent years making a home due to fear. Her accounts are frozen and she lost her emergency savings. She's struggling managing her 2 jobs because this situation has given her extreme PTSD.

Sia has never been one to ask for anything, but as her friend I want to assure she has the help she needs to get through such an scary situation 5 days before Christmas. I am asking that if you have anything to please donate, and give back to a person who has given so much to the community around her.

Thank you.
