'It's just devastating.' Unvaccinated single mom dies of COVID-19, leaving four children behind.
Dawkins, who worked at a local restaurant, did not get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to her son, 20-year-old Tre Burrows.
Dawkins, a Bahamas native, was supposed to sign final paperwork in the process to become a U.S. citizen on the day that she was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Just two days later, on Aug. 7, Burrows and his siblings received an early morning phone call from the hospital to come as soon as they could.
"Even when we were younger, [our mom] would tell us that we were brothers and sisters and we had to look after each other," said Jenny Burrows."Right now we're in survival mode trying to make sure that everything gets done." Added Jenny, a dental assistant,"We're trying to stay on top of everything because we don't want to disappoint [our mom]."
At one point, when Dawkins and her children were experiencing homelessness and staying in a hotel, the family was helped by Janie Yoshida, a stranger at the time whose daughter attended high school with Tre Burrows.
