Fundraiser for Claire who “was shot senselessly in the legs as she and her friend were in an Uber”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I’m emailing about the people involved in a headline from mid-January: 2 Woman Shot (reportedly “in their Uber”). I happened to know one of the two women, Claire, and I hoped you would consider posting her GoFundMe to help support her recovery. She is dealing with several injuries as a result of one bullet entering and exiting her body several times while she was riding in an Uber with a friend. As senseless as the violence in this city (and country) can be, I firmly believe in the DC community’s ability to uplift and support one another. It would be much appreciated if you could spread the word!”
