Hello my name is Destiny. Myself , my husband Shawn and their 6 kids were the lastest “ICE” victims. They were innocent bystanders driving through what should have been a peaceful protest when things took a turn ICE began to start throwing tear gas bombs everywhere we were trying so hard to get out the way but didn’t want to harm anybody with our car in the process. One of the bombs rolled under our truck and within seconds our truck lifted up off the ground and the airbags deployed, the car doors locked themselves and the car began to fill with the powerful tear gas. We fought hard to get the doors open and get all of the kids out, bystanders had to help.
Once all of the kids were out we realized our infant wasn’t breathing. with what little breath I had in my body I began giving my baby mouth to mouth and performing CPR. He eventually regained consciousness. EMS arrived shortly after to assist
This experience was very traumatizing never in a million years would I have thought something like this would happen to me and my family.
We are very appreciative to all of the people who helped us get out of that car and into a house safely. Thank You Thank You.
Myself & my husband will be out of work for a while to tend to our kids to help them get through such a traumatizing experience. Also because we lost our car we have no way to get kids back and fourth to daycare/ school or no way to get to work. We are asking our community to help us out in any way shape or form so that we are able to keep providing for our kids during this time. Thank you all
