Please Help Linda's Children

Donation protected
Linda Lake, was a single 45 year old woman, with four children ages 23, 20, 14 and 3.  Many months ago, Linda left her home that she purchased and was living with her eldest son,  who is battling with severe health issues. Before, she left, Linda's ex boyfriend took residency in her home. On many occasions, Linda went to the police department for assistance in having her ex removed from her house, but to no avail. The police told her that because she invited him to her home, they cannot force him to get out. Linda, has complained about her ex threatening her with a baseball bat and at times chased her with a gun.  At that time, the release clip jammed when he tried to fire. Once again, she reported him to the police department. He was arrested for a short period, but once he was released,  the episodes continued.

Although, there were several restraining orders, the police echoed that they could not do anything to her ex because he did nothing to her. She told the police, "Are you all waiting until he kills me?" On August 1, 2015, at about 1:30 in the afternoon, Travis Bivins' dream of killing Linda became a reality. She suffered three gunshot wounds to her head in the presence of two of her children.

Linda, was aware that it was only a matter of time before she would be killed. With no close relative in the Orlando area , where the children are located, Linda, always asked, "how will my girls be taken cared of?" She was also very concerned about her second son who was transitioning to further his education.

Today, we solicit your donantion of love to show support for Linda's four children. The family is also asking for your prayers because when Linda's mother learned of her daughter's passing, she succumbed to a heart attack and died. Please, remember the family in prayer as they go through these traumatic times.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS REAL. HOW DOES ONE HELP, WHEN YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO?!!!!!

PLEASE HELP THIS FAMILY, AS THEY STRUGGLE TO FIND HOPE.
