Rose used to leave food and coats on people's porches at Christmas, according to someone who knows her. Yesterday, a group of teenagers attacked her on an Omaha city bus and sent her to the hospital. Thursday afternoon, around 3:30 p.m., Rose was riding a Metro bus near 33rd and Ames Avenue, outside Omaha North High School, when she was brutally attacked by several teenagers. Rose was trying to stand up for her friend. One person who knows Rose described her as "one of the sweetest ladies ever." They remembered her quietly leaving groceries and coats on their porch at Christmas, even though Rose had faced plenty of hardships herself.

Donations will help cover Rose's medical expenses and living expenses while she recovers from this attack. After being hospitalized, she now needs support with the practical costs that come with healing and getting through the days ahead.

Rose does not know this fundraiser is being organized yet because she does not have a phone, and there was no desire to wait to start helping her. Every donation will be sent to Rose.

Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser for Rose. She has shown kindness to others in her community, and now this is a chance for the community to show up for her.
