Support for Gray Fam Gun Violence Survivors
Donation protected
My name is Erica Gray, I am serious when I say that I am humbling myself in this time and just thankful to God that I am asking for this purpose and not to help bury any one in my Family.
On August 12th my Husband Ronnie was shot outside of our home while trying to protect his Family from some Young Teen Individual Ladies that had been harassing our Daughter for awhile. The police was contacted numerous of times that day however police did respond by coming out asking the individuals to leave our property. The individuals did leave at this time but returned about 30 minutes later. When they returned our Daughter had left and was no longer home. So my Husband being the head of the home went outside and told them to leave that the police already told them to go on when he did so, the individual ladies had then brought unknown companions with them and they were males one of them started shooting my Husband 7 times he was shot 2 times in the head and the rest were in his legs. He by the grace of God survived and the Doctors said it was a Miracle and he was the real Man of Steel but we were like no,no that was God and his hedge of protection. No bullets went thru any bones or skull and caused life threatening harm but he does still have some stuff going on as result of him being shot that many times and in them areas. So he has not been cleared to be able to return to work. Meanwhile he and our Family of 7 were trying to recover from that but unfortunately we went thru more yea there is more it actually was not the end of the Chaos/Tragic events in our lives at our place we call Home. Two weeks ago my 16 year son Rico was in his sisters car in our driveway when someone pulled up got out and started shooting into my daughters car. He was hit 7 times mostly in back and arm one bullet ended up hitting him in his side fracturing his rib and puncturing his lung. He had some surgeries and still has a broken rib with of course all the mental trauma today. We have no clue who did this and why someone would do this to him he hasn’t been out here like some kids who bless their hearts but have no one or know what love is our Son does. He doesn’t hang out with anyone but family so it’s hard to understand it all. Let alone why anyone would wanna do this to our Family. Now this has been so much for my Family and we are at the point where we don’t want to be here at this home no more it’s scary and gun violence is real I mean who would? We just give glory to God that we are able to speak out about our story and try to engage in helping the community with this craziness. We believe God did not keep them alive or put our family thru this and keep them alive for no reason. We plan on reacting to help and give back. But like I said it’s been since August my Husband hasn’t worked and we have never been on this side asking for help. Our Family is usually the ones who are here ready with serving hearts doing outreach to any one else in need during these hard times in the world and especially during these holidays. But we are stepping out in Faith because we believe in God for this. We have 4 Children from ages 13-19 and a Precious Grandson who is 18 months. So if you would find it in your hearts to if not donate come in agreement in prayers that we get the help to relocate and have some support for awhile we are strong believers in Prayer. I have turned to all resources in our City and there isn’t anything available for Families like ours to have a safe home. Thank you for taking your time to read please share. Thank you in advance.
