Help Lydia and the Kaiser Family Heal

Support Lydia and the Kaiser family

On August 27th, 2025 in a senseless act of violence against Annunciation students gathered in prayer, Lydia Kaiser was injured while protecting her little "buddy" during the first Mass of the school year. Her father, our community's beloved gym teacher, was also in attendance and helped to secure the room, to keep children safe, and stuck with them all until they were reunited with their families, even while his daughter was entering the emergency room. Lydia and Harry are 2 heroes in our midst.

At this time, Lydia is in very serious condition and has undergone an unimaginable surgery. Her story parallels the other injured students in the community. We are praying for her recovery and asking for help as the family navigates all that is to come.

Please consider supporting the family with donations. All money received will go directly to the family to cover medical expenses, ongoing care, trauma counseling, lost income, and the countless unknowns that lie ahead. And please PRAY for her recovery; pray for all of the students and teachers touched by this tragedy; and pray for the first responders and community members that were there to help.

In Gratitude, with love.
