Both the children and their mother were rushed to ICU for their injuries. Her children have since left the hospital and are recovering, while their 35-year-old mother is still receiving intensive care.
Sunday’s fundraiser will kick off several similar attempts, in addition to a Gofundme crowdfunding effort, to assist with the huge costs of Bianca’s medical treatment.
Richardson is known by family and friends as a loving, kind, gentle, humble person and as a friend, she would do anything to help friends in need.

Her partner, Ryan Williams shared a little about what Bianca means to him. “She is a glowing light. When she enters a room, she has this effect with her happy smile and such an aura around her that lifts the entire room. She is the most brilliant person and I cherish her,” he said. “As a mother, she would run through rings for her children, doing absolutely everything she possibly can for them. She’s ever so loving and compassionate. As my partner, I can only try to share just how incredible she is and the love I have for this brilliant human is hard to put into words.”
Bianca’s family and friends urge all communities to attend the Christmas market and support the fundraiser. “This is about bringing all of us together to help a brilliant mom and her two amazing children. I’d like to see everyone there, to meet with you and talk to you,” added Williams.
The fundraiser will be one of many and a Gofundme page has been set up for Bianca. To donate visit www.gofundme.com/help-bianca-mark-and-mia
