Aid Lia Marie's Journey to Healing

Lia Marie Johnson, beloved preschool teacher at Little Tree Huggers, was in a terrible accident while visiting family in Argentina. On June 2nd, she was run over by a motor vehicle while returning to her airBnb. It was the first night of a dream vacation she had planned for a year, and she suffered a traumatic brain injury, multiple fractures and a perforated lung. Although she remains unconscious and in critical condition, she is finally breathing on her own and her body has started making involuntary movements, which suggest her brain stem was not compromised as first thought by the doctors!

Her family will need support with medical and travel expenses while they go to Argentina to be with Lia Marie and help her during her fight for recovery. As of now, neither the US Embassy, nor Blue Cross offer any repatriation assistance and initial estimates are over $250k, but more important than any donation is a prayer or taking the time to listen to and share Lia Marie’s music. You can find her first Album “A Power in Love,” by the band Alaska & Aurora on Spotify or iTunes and her most recent single by searching up the song title “You Are Whole” by Lia Marie Flora on Spotify, iTunes or YouTube. Please help us get her voice out into the Universe!

Lia Marie is simply one of the most sparkly and magical beings. Her love of nature and all living things shines through her work at LTH, teaching the children how to love Mother Earth and care for our planet. She teaches through song, dance and art, inspiring the children to explore their personalities, creativity and the world around them. Her positivity and genuine love for the children is reflected in how happy they are to see her every day.

Please consider supporting Lia Marie and her family during this difficult time. The LTH families are doing what we can to support the school, and now we turn to the larger community for additional help. We will post updates about Lia Marie as the family allows. Thank you all for your help.
