Support B's Recovery After Church Sq Park Assault

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Joelle Robertson - a Hoboken mom of 2 who has lived in the mile square for the past 8 years. I have created this gofundme for my family’s beloved nanny, who I will call B for her privacy.

B was the victim of random violence in Church Sq park on Halloween day around 12:30pm. A deranged man assaulted her in broad daylight in front of many people and kids. He apparently was tormenting others in the park and then decided to target B and hit her to the ground. Many good people ran over to help fight him off (if you were one of them, I would love to know!).
B was rushed to the nearby Hoboken hospital and is thankfully in recovery now.
Here is a link to what occurred:

I am absolutely horrified that this happened to her and in a park that so many of us frequent daily. B is an amazing caregiver to my 2 kids. They love and adore her. She is always seen smiling and is one of the kindest people we know. She is loved by so many in the community as she has worked here for many years.

There has been an outpouring of support for B and many asking how they can help her. So I’ve created this fund which will go directly to her to cover damages done by this despicable man who should have never been roaming Hoboken.

Thank you, on her behalf, for caring and showing what makes Hoboken actually wonderful.

UPDATE 11/1/24: A special town hall meeting has been set up to discuss safety in the parks on Nov 6th at 5:30 (94 Washington Street). Please come out!
