YOU CAN HELP: Crowdfunding for Delridge rape victim

Some have asked if there is anything they can do to help the woman who was attacked and raped in Delridge this past Monday evening, beyond joining neighbors in their awareness campaign (covered here Friday night). Now there is. We’ve heard from Melissa, a friend of the victim, who says they have just set up a GoFundMe page if people are interested in donating to help with her expenses as she recovers. Friends say she is an immigrant who had been working as a nanny and planning to start college this fall as an international student. Meantime, the 18-year-old suspect arrested Friday is expected to have a probable-cause/bail hearing tomorrow.

    It would be nice to see the perp, presuming found guilty, get thrown in jail and made to work prison jobs to pay the victims medical bills in full.

    I’m praying for the victim’s recovery. This is going to be a long road of healing for them, and I know life will not be the same. I hope they can find some comfort knowing that there are people in the community who care. Please stay vigilant for our femme neighbors. Whenever I’m walking my dog, I make sure other femmes I encounter are not being followed or seem uneasy and need someone to pretend to be their friend. Twice, I have pretended to come running up to other femmes, especially young teenagers, saying “hey! I was looking for you! Let’s get going!” and we walk together somewhere safe and make sure they are getting where they’re going safely. It’s easy, it’s quick, and the vulnerable person is not “frozen” anymore from fear of communicating.

Sorry, comment time is over.
