Erica Garner was dealing with stress from her father’s tragic death. Erica Garner had a sudden heart attack. Erica Garner had to deal with the NYPD following her around. Erica Garner had to see the hundreds of racist Internet comments that said her father deserved to die. Erica Garner had to read about the derogatory terms her family was called by racists. Erica Garner had to watch pro-police rallies mock her father’s death. Erica Garner had to witness her father’s killer get away with murder, and keep his job. Erica Garner continued to advocate against police brutality and for black lives. This beautifully ethereal soul has given so much to her community. She could have easily given up after her father’s murder, but instead she organized in New York City to fight against police brutality. She called out major politicians for not doing enough about her father’s death, and the thousands of other black lives that were taken by the hands of murderous police officers. She was a badass. But the stress is a killer. Dealing with racism is a killer. RIP Erica Garner. She didn’t deserve this.

Eric Garner’s daughter in critical condition after heart attack

The oldest daughter of Eric Garner suffered a heart attack Saturday and was in critical condition on Christmas Eve.

The oldest daughter of Eric Garner — who has become an advocate against police brutality since her dad’s death — suffered a heart attack Saturday night and was in critical condition on Christmas Eve, family members told the Daily News.

Erica Garner, whose father died in 2014 when NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo placed him in a chokehold on Staten Island, was on life support in ICU in a Brooklyn hospital, the family said. The 27-year-old mother of two is unable to breathe on her own, family said. Esaw Snipes-Garner, Erica’s mother, told The News her daughter’s condition was grave but the family hadn’t given up hope.

“(She) is still with us. She’s fighting. The doctor says she has a strong heart,” the mom said. Snipes-Garner said her daughter’s cardiac arrest was brought on by an asthma attack Saturday night. Erica, already the mom of an 8-year-old daughter, gave birth to a boy in August, Snipes-Garner said. After that pregnancy, Erica suffered a first cardiac arrest a few months ago, her mother said. The pregnancy had put a strain on her heart, which doctors discovered was enlarged — a condition Erica had not been aware of, her mother said.As for the current crisis, Snipes-Garner said it’s a waiting game for the mother of two, filled with family prayers and loving support.

“She’s not doing well and we’re praying,” Snipes-Garner told The News. Erica's foster mother, Tanya Goode, left the Brooklyn hospital in tears late on Christmas Eve, flanked by two of Erica's brothers and a sister-in-law. “I was here last night and I’ve been here all day today," Goode told The News. "Erica is on life support. She can’t breathe on her own. So she’s not doing well," a tearful Goode said.

Erica’s sister, Emerald Snipes, shared her fears on Facebook Sunday morning. “My sister had another heart attack last night and she’s in critical condition,” Snipes wrote. “I just left the hospital and it’s not looking good. ... I pray she makes it; she has two little ones to live for,” the sister said. She also noted that the family was having a hard time getting ready for the holiday in light of Erica’s suffering. “Don’t even feel like Christmas but I gotta fake smile for my baby,” Snipes posted later on Facebook.

Please pray for her y'all!!!!
