Support For Cecily Bartsch
Donation protected
As a close family friend of Lynn Bartsch and the Bartsch family, I have created this GoFundMe for Our beloved Cecily, at the urging of (and inquiries from) many friends of the family. Early Sunday morning on November 18, 2018 around 4 am, 16 year old Cecily was sleeping over at a friend’s house in Orinda and a fire erupted. Cecily thankfully escaped. We are heartbroken that her friend did not survive. Cecily is the Miramonte High School teenager you may have heard about and reported in the news who survived the fire, but she was critically injured.
She is unfortunately in Bothin Burn Center in San Francisco, being treated for 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 35% of her body. She is still in critical condition and is expected to be in the hospital for months.
Cecily is a beautiful, sweet, bright, talented, sensitive, and incredibly gifted young girl. Her accomplishments are so impressive. She dreams of changing the world - radically. While many 16 year old girls are worrying about dating and learning to drive, Cecily is intently intellectual with a passion for existential philosophy and French policial rock music. She volunteers and helps disadvantaged and at risk youth in Oakland with their homework. Cecily finds great joy in ballet and studies at Oakland Ballet School. Cecily is a National Latin Scholar and studies the Russian Language. She is feisty and challenges everyone in the logical and moral underpinning of their ideas. That fighting spirit, along with everyone’s prayers and well wishes, is what’s keeping her going right now.
She is a witty jokester and was telling jokes to the EMTs in the ambulance despite being critically injured. She is even joking now through hand signals and scrawled notes since she can’t speak with the breathing tube she needs. She was just about to perform as Louise in this year’s OBS Nutcracker, which was something she had been working hard for for years. A HUGE fan of K-Pop, Cecily is a member of the BTS Army. Cecily absolutely loved seeing them whenever they came to the US.
Any donated amount would help Cecily and the family focus on getting Cecily whatever medical treatment necessary to save and improve her quality of life. If you are unable to donate, we would very much appreciate any prayers or warm thoughts for Cecily and if possible, sharing this link with your family and friends.
On behalf of the Bartsch family, we thank you all for your kind words, prayers, warm thoughts, offers to help, and kindness. We will keep you posted on her progress. Cecily is having the first of potentially six surgeries this morning, November 20th. Your continued prayers are very much appreciated...
