Ad hoc communities spring up all the time, and we become close to people via those communities. I belong to a few different groups of people, and one of the best started on the site Obesity Help, but quickly moved over to Facebook. It was there that I met Georgina, a wonderful woman and great mother, who spoke in glowing terms about her family. I looked forward to updates from her about her daughter and her nieces, and the kittens she recently adopted. I was horrified to see that tragedy struck this happy family: Geo's sister, the lovely Penelope Stephanie Sanchez, was brutally murdered.
Three lovely little girls are now left without their mother. Georgina is left without a sister, and Clara is left without her aunt.
Our online community was just as stunned as if we were local. This horrific tragedy means that the surviving family needs to band together to raise these girls in a household filled with love. Some really great ladies, Kristin and Nicole, set up this donation site via indigogo in order to raise money to help the family. The grandparents need a van to transport all these children. Georgina's parents will be moving closer to create a solid family environment where the sisters and their cousin can be raised together, with help from Georgina and her husband.
Life is unfair. Violence is evil, but love is more powerful than all of those things. Please consider donating to this family and let's show them that love does indeed conquer all.
Let's also hope that they catch the responsible party and that justice is swift.
Please, give and share. Thank you.
