I have been friends with Vivian for 16 years and her and her family have always been my safe space. My shelter when I needed it. My shoulder to cry on when I needed it. My place to go for joy and laughter and understanding.

And now she needs help. Vivian survived a terrible trauma on Friday the 27th. Her boyfriend suddenly passed. 

Her and her daughter need all the love and support they can get right now. All we have is community and I hope we can all come together to provide money to them for rent, utilities and all basic necessities, that she previously was splitting with Derek, so Vivian can focus on her daughter and on healing.

It’s going to be a long road to recovery and every bit will help.
