Hope for Daniel
Friends,
On August 27, 2012, the lives of
so many were changed in our community. What should have been a happy first day
of school turned into a tragedy at Perry Hall High School, especially for
17-year-old victim, Daniel Borowy.
Daniel is my dear friend
Chrissy's godson and cousin. He loves spending time with his family,
especially playing with her young children, Khaya and Cecilia. Just last
December, he was jumping around in the ball pit at Khaya's 5th birthday,
laughing with the kids, and now he is fighting the biggest fight of his
life.
Chrissy says he has
always dreamed about meeting Lady Gaga, Johnny Depp, and even
President Obama. In fact, he packs his suitcase every morning and tells his mom
he is traveling to California to see Lady Gaga perform. Daniel has a heart of
gold and big dreams.
Daniel and his family have
endured so much in his life. Yesterday, he was an innocent bystander, he was
not a bully, he was not a target, he was a young man who wanted to eat lunch on
the first day of school with his friends.
Daniel is now out of surgery and
is in recovery, but his full recovery is far from over. His mother and family
continue to surround him; it is a trying time for all of them and your prayers
have gone a long way.
In an effort to help with
Daniel's recovery, a few of Chrissy's friends are setting up this fundraising
site. All the proceeds generated will go directly to Daniel Borowy's mother so
she can help with the medical expenses and bills that will certainly come their
way.
Thank you so much in advance for
your outpouring of love for Daniel and his family. Continue the fight
so Daniel can play with Khaya again on his 6th birthday.
All the best,
The Friends of Chrissy Kehl
