Cleveland, Texas– A fund-raiser for the 11-year-old girl who was gang raped last month was held Sunday.

The event was organized by several Latino groups to aide the family financially; the victim’s mother reportedly has been diagnosed with having brain tumors and the father is currently unemployed.

We all think it’s important because they have been displaced,” said Yolanda Black Navarro with Latinas Enhancing Advocacy and Development. “They have no income coming in and it’s important for us to help them because besides the victim, the family, they’re all in torture.”
