LMPF said Boone’s family was left with only the clothes they had with them at the time.

On Monday, the foundation began collecting money and gift cards to help Boone and her family recover following the devastating experience.

“Unfortunately due to COVID concerns we are unable to accept used goods,” the foundation said in a post. “But she is so grateful to be in everyone’s thoughts and prayers.”

People who wish to donate can go to the Louisville Metro Police Foundation’s website and mention Boone’s name under “Officer/Member in Distress” when donating.

The foundation said it is also accepting donations for Boone through its Venmo account.
