On March 15th, my best friend was attacked by her boyfriend with an axe. She managed to get away and run to the neighbor’s house, bleeding from the head and upper body. While she escaped, he took their two-year-old and killed him with a screwdriver before dumping his body behind a shopping center.

If that isn’t tragic, I don’t know what is. It takes a real fucking psychopath to kill a child, let alone his own. And in such a fucking brutal way.

I am absolutely heartbroken for her but I know that I can’t even begin to imagine her pain. However, I can help ease the burden a bit by putting the word out. She was a stay-at-home mom who depended on his income and, of course, he’s not sharing that now that she really needs it for funeral expenses, medical bills, etc.

Please consider giving to the memorial fund for the baby if you can:

Andrew Bailey’s family has set up a memorial fund for him. Those interested in contributing can go to any El Dorado Savings Bank branch and deposit funds to the Andrew Bailey Memorial Fund, account 263004173.

If you do not have a branch in your area, you can go to your bank and they can wire funds to El Dorado Savings Bank. Your bank will need the account number of Andrew Bailey’s Memorial Fund (263004173) and El Dorado Savings Bank routing number which is: 321170978. For wires, use El Dorado Savings Bank’s main office address which is: 4040 El Dorado Rd. Placerville , Ca 95667.

Should you need assistance, you can call 800-874-9779 and request the El Dorado Hills Branch.

Or you can donate directly to her via PayPal using the address merrily(at)wholesomegoodies.net
