My name is Ceminya Winters and my home was broken into on Christmas day. My family and I were out of town for the holidays, and we came back to broken windows and everything of value missing. They took Tvs, Laptops, Ipads, Clothing, Shoes, game consoles, Jewelry, Life size piggy banks for my 2 daughters, and their Christmas gifts. They even went to the extinct of damaging furniture, and locating the file cabinet with everyone’s Identification documents, which were also token. A lot of the jewelry items were from my deceased mother and held alot of sentimental value. My 10 year old daughter is very traumatized from the situation and she has made it very clear that she no longer feels safe at home. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. A couple years ago a stray bullet entered our home through the same exact window, but that time we were all at home. I am here asking for donations for Replacing some of stolen items, a home security system, damage repairs, and relocating for a new SAFE home.

Here's a link to the local news story about the incident
