This fundraiser is for a daughter and student who was followed on MARTA by a man and then assaulted and robbed in broad daylight in Midtown Atlanta. This has been a deeply upsetting and traumatic experience for the family. In an instant, a normal day turned into something frightening and painful, and now she is trying to recover from the emotional impact while also dealing with the loss of the essentials that were stolen.

The funds raised will help replace stolen essentials, cover counseling, support safer transportation, and help with self-protection training and related safety needs moving forward. The hope is to give her practical support as she heals and works to regain a sense of safety after what happened. If you want to support her recovery, this is one way to help. Above all, the family hopes people will respond with compassion instead of criticism and keep the victim in mind. Any support means so much as she continues healing and focusing on being a student.
