Justice for Lola and Ruby
While walking in their local community. Lola (12), Ruby (13) and Mayah (13) were accosted by two adult foreign nationals. The foreign nationals were directing inappropriate sexual remarks at Lola. When Lola and her sister told the migrants to leave them alone and go away Ruby was viciously attacked by the adult female, yanked to the ground by her hair and both migrants proceeded to kick Ruby in the head on the ground. Seeing her sister being beaten senselessly on the ground, Lola retrieved an axe and a knife and bravely scared off the attackers, saving her sister. This is when the foreign national decided to film the aftermath which went viral on social media. In the video you can hear Lola telling the attackers to go away and leave her sister alone. Ruby was hospitalized after the attack with a severe concussion a tennis ball sized lump to the back of her head as well as lots of bruises. Unfortunately rather than arrest the attackers, the local police decided to arrest Lola instead.
We set up this campaign because like millions of others who saw the video and have now heard Lola and Ruby's story, we were astonished at the incredible bravery from such a young child. She became the hero for a nation that for too long has seen their cries of help go unheard. Lola fearlessly stood on her own standing up to her sister's attackers and now she needs our help to stand up to the corrupt law establishment that would rather go after victims than hold foreign migrants accountable for their crimes.
This is the official GiveSendGo fundraiser for Lola and Ruby. Set up by the family, their mother Elaine Thomson and with assistance from Aesthetica.
