Amber Andujar was celebrating her 12th birthday when she was raped by 33-year-old Osvaldo Rivera. Her 6-year-old brother Dominick Andujar was in their Camden, NJ residence as Rivera was raping Amber. The young boy came to his sister’s aid and attempted to fight off her rapist who slashed the young boy’s throat killing him. As Amber attempted to escape, she slipped in her own blood twice and was slashed in the throat twice so deeply that first responders reported seeing her vocal cords through the gashes.
Amber will be turning 15 on September 2. Her mother and aunt are doing everything they can to allow her to have the beautiful quinceanera she has always dreamed about. Amber’s mom, Debbie Burgos, and aunt, Kim Burgos Baker, set up a GoFundMe account writing,
Please help us in making our beautiful survivor’s dream come true. Amber has been through so much in her young life that noone should ever have to go through. From having her innocence taken away, and almost lost her life, but Amber had an angel her 6 year old little brother who woke up from his sleep to help his sister from this intruder. Unfortunately, 6 yr.old Dominick didn’t make it. We want to lift Amber’s spirit up as she turns 15yrs old and becoming a young lady. This tragedy happened on her birthday, and we’re hoping to get supporters to help us help her celebrate her quinceanera and making it extra special for her. Every penny counts and it would be so much help for her mother and sisters. Thank You All
