Paola’s family in Puente de Camotlan in Mexico are hoping that people may be able to donate to help bring her body back to her home country.

They have set up a page which they also hope will help to raise some funds to help care for her newborn baby girl which the family will now look after.

“Paola Eden Delagado Polanco was a young thriving girl and full of life, with charming simplicity and humility,” reads a description on the funding page. “She died October 29 at her 21 years as a victim of domestic violence caused by her boyfriend in Bear, Delaware. Paola was six months pregnant, and by a miracle the baby survived.”
