Left with nothing 

John and his daughter, Jadene, were at home when individuals forcibly entered their residence and took a collection of valuable items, including cellphones, a laptop, a television, several bank cards and all the cash John had in his wallet. The robbers also stripped the family’s bedding to bundle and carry away the stolen goods.

Dealing with old trauma

The incident reopened old family wounds as in 2024 the family were victims of a home invasion that left them with little to no possessions. 

The recurring nature of these intrusions has placed the family in an acutely vulnerable state, lacking basic household necessities.
