Patricia’s family started aGoFundMefollowing her death. The organizer, her sister Krista Kale, alleges in the description that Patricia had previously endured abuse and that authorities had failed to protect her.
“Numerous attempts were made to beg for her safety to be met with incompetence, ignorance, and injustice,” Kale wrote in the description. “Our beautiful sister feared and begged for her life only to be told sorry.”
