Ive had numerous surgeries. Face and private area. Medical bills I cannot pay on my own. Loss of work, and loss of money to provide for my children. I'm healing up well now. I'm truly blessed, just need a helping hand to move foward. It would be greatly appreciated!!!
Feb 27 2016, my family and I were victims of gun violence. My boyfriend, kids and I were coming from doing some shopping for the house when we pulled in front of our residence when a guy came from the alley of our apartment and emptied the clip of his gun into the vehicle. It happened so fast that we had no chance to even duck our heads, let alone try to even escape.
As the shots seized, people from all around the neighborhood came out and came to the scene. The kids were not hit, because the dad and I seemed to catch most of the bullets. The killer ran back into the alley and disappeared. I saw his face, but he also had a hood on, so it was hard to identify him at first, but he had strong features that stood out that will never leave my memory and those memories and strong features helped me identity the Monster. I will never forget those eyes though. Neighbors grab the babies out the car and took them into their safe homes and as the ambulance and fire department came Eric was pronounced" DOA". Dead on Arrival. I still think they could have tried to save him because he died 10 minutes later. I was transported to the hospital. I never got to say Goodbye.

I cannot even find one reason why someone would want to harm us, but they did. Its a mystery that will haunt me forever because Eric was loved all around. So was I. I stayed to myself whereas Eric was friendly with many, and thats good but everyone cannot be trusted. And Eric trusted Many. He was the" life of the party "type of guy. Very funny!
He workerd hard at Coopers Hawk and Winery to support his family and was thinking about going back to school. He was a fantastic father, and great boyfriend. We've been knowing each other since grammer school. He was my bestfriend. Was it jealously, a small dispute, what?????? And I could have losted my life.I was hit three times, one in the chin, leg, and hand. Our kids were in the backseat. All I could hear were shots, windows busting, kids screaming, and so much more. I still have nightmares. I didnt know I was hit so many times, but the worst part of the situation is that I had to watch my boyfriend die right before my eyes.
I couldnt move, speak or feel anything. Before I noticed I couldn't move anymore I tried to jump in the back seat to cover my children and was hit in the butt, which hit my outter vagina area and went out through my leg. I had to have surgery in that area also. My hand has scars. As I look over in the driver seat,Eric, My boyfriend/kids father, head was down and blood was coming from his nose and month. I could do nothing as tears fell from my eyes. I couldnt even scream due to the bullet hitting my jaw/chin.
We were just having a good time and just like that he was tooken from our lives in a matter of seconds. I will never understand. The kids were safe and given to close family while I was hospitalized. Ive never been through anything so terrible and dealing with my lovers death and trying to heal is so hard while still trying to stay strong for our children. But Im trying. Im healing up ok, and staying strong. Its still hard,because we miss him so much and now I have to raise our babies on my own. They ask me questions, and thats hard because they are still so young, but im doing the best that I Can. Im blessed to even be alive and I will continue to stay strong and fight for justice because Noone deserves to go through anything like this and get their life tooken away by a coward with a gun.I will get through this, but everyday is so hard.
I cannot work to support my children as of now because I am healing, but time will tell. I moved to another state to give my children a better life and from here on its a new journey. I miss my boyfriend deeply, but I know hes looking down and watching over us. He was tooken away too soon from his family and I. He was my bestfriend, My Everything!
