Help Elizabeth after tragedy

Donation protected
 
Hi, my name is Johanna Rubio and I'm starting this GOFUNDME fundraiser for Elizabeth and her parents. I'm Elizabeth's aunt and her mother is my sister.
I currently reside in Roseville, CA.

Elizabeth is a sweet 16-year-old, in her junior year/11th grade, attending Lincoln High School. Elizabeth is a quiet, very kindhearted girl who like most teenagers' loves being on her phone, listening to music, specifically K pop music. Over-all, she is just a spontaneous silly girl.

As many may have seen on the news recently, On Wednesday January 26th my sister and her two children were victims of a tragedy. My sister was on her way to drop the kids off at our parents' house for them to go to school. This is her usual routine before she goes to work. As she was driving, she noticed they were being followed by a car for a couple of blocks. Suddenly, there was a shot fired at my sister's vehicle. The bullet went through the back left window bypassing my nephew and hitting the front passenger seat, tragically hitting Elizabeth in the back of her head. The shattered glass caused injuries to my nephew and sister. The bullet went through the seat of the car, breaking in two pieces injuring her brain and spine. Thankfully, Elizabeth is alive; however, in critical condition. We were told by the doctors that she is paralyzed from the neck down! Elizabeth is currently on a ventilator to help her breathe. We are still uncertain to the extent of the brain damage, as the swelling needs to come down. The family has been informed that the odds are not in her favor due to her condition.  Consciousness may not be regained, but she is quite the fighter. Elizabeth was able to answer questions with head movement. Presently, she is more alert and even able to watch television for short periods of time.
 
The entire family is humbly asking for help by sending her prayers for healing and recovery. It will be a long road! One thing we are certain of, as long as she's fighting, we will continue to fight for her in any possible way!
 
We thank you in advance for your prayers and any donations you are able to help with. No donation is too small and is greatly appreciated by our family! Funds will be used to help pay medical bills which are already adding up, loss of wages and help pay for future expenses for her treatment and care. Please consider helping spread her story! Below you can find the link of the story from the news.
