Andrea High Bear's (formerly Andrea Circle Bear) children and family need help. For those unfamiliar with her story, Andrea was eight months into her pregnancy when she was sent to FMC Carswell, a federal prison in Texas. Andrea had been sentenced to 26 months for a nonviolent drug offense. About two weeks after she was admitted to prison, she developed symptoms consistent with COVID-19. She was eventually placed on a ventilator. While Andrea remained on the ventilator, her baby, Elyciah, was delivered by cesarean section on April 1, 2020.   Andrea died four weeks later on April 28, 2020. She was just 30 years old. Andrea's tragic death was entirely avoidable. She never should have been sent to a federal prison in the midst of a global pandemic. Her two-year prison sentence became a death sentence, and now six children will be forced to grow up without their mother.   Andrea loved her family dearly. Her aunt, Rhonda Dupree, said Andrea withdrew from community college to take care of her children. She loved to bake and sold baked goods to help make ends meet. Andrea is survived by Elyciah and four other children, ages 10 years and younger.   Caring for five children is expensive, and Andrea’s family needs help. The children need basic items right now – shoes, diapers, and food. Of course, the children will need longer-term help, too, having lost their mom forever.   The initial target goal for Andrea’s family is $25,000. This amount will relieve immediate financial pressure and ensure that Andrea’s children are provided with everything they need in the short term. The family is aware of this effort and grateful for any support it receives.   Advocacy groups and elected officials were rightly appalled by Andrea’s death, and we hope a federal investigation will determine why this avoidable tragedy occurred. But while accountability is important, and telling Andrea’s story is important, nothing is more important RIGHT NOW than ensuring her family is taken care of. Please consider giving what you can to help them. If you are unable to give at this time, you can help by sharing this GoFundMe on social media. <a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/baby-born-by-c-section-to-inmate-who-died-of-coronavirus-is-doing-great-family-says/2361690/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/baby-born-by-c-section-to-inmate-who-died-of-coronavirus-is-doing-great-family-says/2361690/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/baby-born-by-c-section-to-inmate-who-died-of-coronavirus-is-doing-great-family-says/2361690/</a></a>
