CODE RED: EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND


Peace Family,



We received a phone call from an associate informing us of a situation with the family of a long time Friend and Comrade. About a year ago, a Sistah we came up with was arrested on charges of attempted manslaughter. She received these charges as a result of defending herself and her two young children. A long time victim of Domestic Abuse, her estranged husband (whom she was separated from), came in thru the kitchen window and began beating her. Out of fear, she reached for a knife and stabbed him a few times...Since she was taken into custody, her mother who suffers from several ailments, has taken custody of her two children ages 6 and 3. The problem is the mother has fallen into financial hardship and is in danger of being evicted if she doesn't come up with back rent in 7 days. If evicted she will lose custody of her grandchildren. In response to this, we are making an effort to raise $3,000 to support with housing and to provide food and school clothes for the babies. We are asking for your aid. You can donate right now, online! Your support is needed every dollar counts.
