5 year old boy left blind by stray bullets.
In the early hours of 12/21/2020, a mother was lying in bed with her two sons ages 3 and 5 when their lives got changed forever, specifically Malakai’s, who is 5 years old. Several stray bullets began to rip and tear through their home, leaving Malakai’s mother instantly scrambling to protect her two sons. Ultimately, Malakai’s mother sustained a gunshot wound trying to protect her boys as the stray bullets came into their house. To make matters worse, as the gunshots finally stopped, Malakai’s mom discovered Malakai in a pool of blood and suffering from a gunshot wound to his head. The bullet missed Malakai’s brain by 2 cm, leaving him suffering from several fractures in his skull, as well as leaving Malakai permanently blind in both eyes. If that isn't enough, Malakai has possibly lost his ability to taste anything as well. An innocent, 5 year old boy who loves all things Roblox, playing video games and watching YouTube, and playing with Transformers, was woken up from his sleep 4 days before Christmas not being able to see or taste for the rest of his life.
As we come into this holidays season, it also comes with the unfortunate one year anniversary of this tragic incident, Malakai losing his sight. Please donate what you can to help this family have a better holiday season! Christopher 2X Game Changers organization is backing Malakai and his family. We are asking for the Louisville community, to embrace this family and Malakai as he goes along his journey at the Kentucky School for the Blind!
