HELP ERIKA GET HOME

Donation protected
URGENT: 

Erika Dietz was brutally assaulted by her (ex) partner, Vanessa Hernandez, on June 16th, 2019. Her face is now in need of stitches, and Vanessa has been picked up by the police. Erika is 600 miles from any family and most of her friends. Vanessa convinced her to ditch her car in Michigan last fall and ride back to Maryland with her, after she chased Erika to Michigan. She has absolutely nobody to run to that lives in Maryland, nor does she have any money or a vehicle to get back to Michigan. Erika has a two year old son, Cyrus, who Vanessa was also trying to harm, but Erika protected him with her own body. Please considering donating so that we can get a train ticket from Baltimore to Kalamazoo ASAP for the two of them. It will be around $200 for both tickets, but she will also need some extra baggage allowance (extra $$), and an Uber to the bus station. Once back to Kalamazoo, she will either come to my house, or her son's paternal grandmother's, where there is an extra room for them. Any money not used for those 3 things will be used to help get the two back on their feet. I set the goal to $500, but the minimum needed is around $350, and we can at least get them here!! Any little bit helps!!
