Terecita Avila's Recovery Fund

Donation protected
On July 18th, 3 year old Terecita was snacking on grapes and began to choke, the fruit was lodged and Terecita could not get air. The Lansing police and Emergency Services arrived and worked to keep Terecita alive. Little Terecita was without oxygen for 18 minutes. Thanks to the Lansing team she is now in Comer's Children's Hospital fighting. Her parents, family and friends are hoping and praying for her recovery.  She has suffered severe brain damage and has been on a ventilator since that night. It has been, and will be day to day progress with unknown outcomes. Long time employees of Beggars Pizza, loving parents, Liz and Guillermo have not left her bedside. We are asking for any donation to help this family with the long road they have ahead of them. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you pray for this beautiful girl and her family.  To add to their pain, the couple has had to cancel their wedding set for September 3rd, some of the vendors they have hired are refusing to return the money spent which is over $20,000 that they could use to help their daughter. Life can change in an instant.
