Support Erin Quinn's Recovery from Brutal Attack

Donation protected
Hello, this is a close friend of Erin Quinn. Erin was involved in a very disturbing incident where she was trying to collect toys for a Christmas toy drive and she was brutally attacked by a person who was attempting to harm her by tasing her multiple times with a taser gun, possibly attempting to rob her. Erin was forced to drive her vehicle while being tased by this woman with a very large taser gun until she wrecked her vehicle. The person who attacked her was a former housekeeper by the name of Olga Mendez. Erin and her mother Sheila both helped Olga and her daughter out in the past with housing and money. Erin had not seen or spoken to this person in over 9 months. This attack was premeditated as the person (Olga Mendez) started texting Erin the night before from an unknown number and did not identify herself. Olga pretended to offer toys for the toy drive and provided Erin with an address for pick up.

From Erin Quinn:
My entire world has been turned upside down! All I was trying to do was help with the Christmas toy drive and thought I’d be able to stop by really quick to pick up these presents before I started my workday. I was completely set up (there were no presents) and when I got back into my vehicle, I had no idea someone was waiting for me, ready to attack and taser me in the head. During the incident, which lasted about 30 minutes, I stopped my vehicle to get anybody and everybody’s attention possible. I was tased over 30 times in the head. The one that lasted almost a minute nearly killed me. Several construction workers around the area witnessed what was going on, videotaped, and did nothing. This person has four warrants out for her arrest and is very dangerous. I strongly believe that her plan was to kidnap me and take me to Mexico for either ransom or sale. I have burns and bruises all over my body, cuts on my face, my head, and so much missing hair that she pulled out and burned with the taser. After we crashed the vehicle, I was able to identify who the person was when I pulled off her bright blonde wig. In self-defense, I did everything I could to get her off of me. I kicked her as hard as I could; she tried to put her fingers in my mouth, maybe in an attempt to rip my mouth open, and in a complete panic, I bit part of a portion of her finger off in self-defense because I didn’t know what else to do. A hero by the name of William King pulled her off of me and she fled the scene. The officers were able to gather hair, the finger, the taser, and the wig for evidence and are actively searching to try and find her.

For those of you who have offered help and assistance, we are creating a link to a GoFundMe account. Erin is now struggling with post-traumatic stress and has injuries all over her body. She needs time to rest and heal. Her biggest concern now is paying her bills while being under an extreme amount of stress. Please pray and share this link so that we can help raise money to give this poor girl a little peace of mind.
