"(It's) time for us to leave," she said.  Lanton said they're aiming to raise enough money via a GoFundMe page to move to a new home outside of the city — hopefully in Oak Park They would also like a place where they can bring Myonna's "comfort animal," a mixed Lab named Lady "Just try to get basically everything back to normal for her where she don't have to be in fear of being shot worry about every time you hear a car pull up or somebody walking by the house," Lanton said.  "I just want her to be comfortable and not have to stress over stuff like that."
