Hello everyone my name is Alain Buka I am father for Gabriella Buka. We are trying raise money for our family to get Gabriella back to her home country of Congo.

Gabriella was going to be an 8th grader at Northwest Junior High in Coralville, Iowa.
We are hearbroken that she is no longer with us. Gabriella was a very helpful, kind, and a leader in the classroom. She enjoyed playing basketball and hanging out with her siblings. Gabriella aspired to be a doctor when she grew up. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and Northwest comminity.
