More than $180,000.

Enough to cover healthcare expenses.
Enough to ensure she never had to worry about basic necessities again.

The crowd started crying with her.
Even some of the officers wiped their eyes.
That evening, the entire neighborhood gathered in front of her house.
Electricians donated labor.
