Community Support for Sabrina Blount

“Sabrina Blount is a victim of a violent crime.  On April 7, 2015, two men, who she thought were her friends, drove her from Fayetteville to Raleigh against her will.  They got her drunk and drugged her, then raped her.  Not only that, they drove their vehicle over her body twice in a parking lot then left her there alone. Four weeks later, she is still hospitalized. She will have surgeries because almost all of her organs are involved in the damage. Her mother has lost her job and house because she has to take care of her.  Sabrina has an 18 month old baby who is being taken care of by her grandmother for now. Your donations will be truly appreciated.”...
