A California family is desperate to find a 33-year-old mother of three who hasn’t been seen for at least a week as authorities search for both the woman and her car.
“It’s very unlike her to not contact anyone,” Gumina Waters’mother, Joanna Russell, told KTXL, noting that Gumina Waters had broken her collarbone earlier this month and complained about the pain.
“That’s why there’s a concern for her safety right now and a concern that she had a broken collarbone,” she added. “So, I’m praying that someone will hear this or have seen something or might know something and please report it to the sheriff.”
Both Gumina Waters and her car were missing from her Pleasant Valley area home on Wednesday, July 17, according to KTXL. And Russell told the station that the woman’s disappearance is taking a toll on her three children, especially Gumina Waters’ 4-year-old son.
The sheriff’s office shared a photo of Gumina Waters and her car on Facebook, urging anyone with any information to contact the office’s non-emergency dispatch at (530)-621-6600.
Russell also called on social media users to help in the search.
“We are pleading with the community. If anyone seen anything anything at all call the Sheriff Dispatch!!” shewrote in a Facebook post. “I Love and miss you Heather Rai my beautiful daughter my heart is so broken.!!!!”
The sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE, but told KTXL that it has not organized a search party to find Gumina Waters.
“No one has heard from her to my knowledge. No one has heard from her,” Russell said. “I’m sleep deprived, I’m sad, I’m scared.”
