Help Ella Heal: Medical and Therapy Costs

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Casey Sitko and I coach Ella in gymnastics. My youngest daughter is also on the same gymnastics team as Ella. I was given permission to start this GoFundMe in order to help the Orsi family through this challenging time. Ella is an absolute joy to be around. She loves to have fun, make jokes, and laugh! Her smile is infectious, and we can't wait to see it again.

On April 28th, Ella was involved in the YNOT after school tragedy in Chatham, IL. She was severely injured with facial fractures, a broken jaw, damaged teeth, brain swelling, and brain bleeding. She is currently in the PICU, and all signs are pointing in a positive direction. At this time, plastic surgery/surgeries will be required, but it appears as though any brain surgery will be avoided. She is intubated and medicated so that she can rest and recover.

We are simply asking for any donation to help with medical costs, missed time at work for mom and dad, and the upcoming therapy that Ella will need to recover from the surgeries. There are many families affected by this tragedy, and this is just the story of one sweet girl. Continued thoughts and prayers are powerful, and always accepted. Thank you!
