CHARLOTTE, NC — A verified GoFundMe has been created to assist the family of a woman hit and killed while walking on the side of the road in Charlotte this week.

A mother of three and an Afghan refugee, 23-year-old Nabila Rasoul was walking with her friend Enedina Fernandez when a drunk driver hit them both, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police.

"They came to America with nothing to start a new life and had begun a promising future when a careless act changed everything, leaving two toddlers and a baby without a mom. Now, her husband, Ahmad is left to manage a new job and their children with no family in the US to help," the GoFundMe created by Sam Hatcher stated.
