[SRCAction] Helping Survivors of Racial Hatred

[Mark Hughes]

All,

On August 28th, 2017 in Claremont, New Hampshire an eight year old biracial
boy named Quincy was racially taunted, hit with sticks and rocks, and
eventually hung from a tree by a group of white teenagers. Thankfully he
escaped and survived.

The external physical injuries can be seen in the photo. He was airlifted
to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and is expected to make a complete
physical recovery. Quincy’s sister was also present for the crime and
fortunately was not physically harmed. Quincy and his sister have both
suffered extreme psychological trauma as a result of this racially
motivated crime. Psychotherapy is the most effective form of treatment for
healing from the effects of trauma. Therapy or counseling can help people
who have experienced trauma make sense of their experiences and feelings,
develop plans to stay safe, learn healthy coping skills, and connect with
other resources and support. Quincy, his sister and family need therapy and
emotional support to begin the long healing process in front of them.

This fund created here will be used to provide Quincy, his sister and his
family members the psychotherapy and support that is essential for recovery
and healthy growth.  The fund will also be used to support the family with
medical expenses, costs of moving and issues related to financial hardship.
The family is currently living in the neighborhood this crime took place,
do not feel safe, and will need to move. Plus, Quincy's sister attends
school with the teens who hurt her brother and is having a difficult time
being at the same school. Additionally, Quincy's younger brother was also
recently diagnosed with a blood disorder (ITP) and has been hospitalized.
As a result, the children's mother, Cassandra,  is struggling with
significant financial hardship due to the loss of work incurred when she
is caring for her sick and injured children. Please donate to ensure that
this family can move forward towards safety and begin the process of
recovery. What happened to Quincy is horrific and your donations here can
help him and his family begin to heal.  All Proceeds Raised Here will go to
Quincy's Family.
Thank you.

"It is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks,
without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all
like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of
it."  Maya Angelou
