•Dear family and friends,

-On Sunday, June 8th, 2025,

my younger brother, Sebastian Yidana, was involved in a distressing incident in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, during a mental health crisis. He sustained a serious shoulder injury and is currently hospitalized, requiring surgery and a lengthy recovery process.

-Sebastian has long struggled with mental health challenges, but has always been a kind, respectful, and compassionate person deeply loved by family, friends, teachers, and his community.

-We are incredibly grateful that his life was spared and remain hopeful as he begins this difficult journey of healing both physically and emotionally.

This fundraiser is being set up with Sebastian’s full knowledge and consent to help cover:

• Ongoing medical expenses

• Mental health treatment and recovery support

• Basic necessities during rehabilitation

-Any amount you can contribute will go directly toward supporting Sebastian’s recovery and future stability.

-We thank you deeply for your compassion, your prayers, and your continued support.

•With gratitude,

Ms. Choice McDonnough
