Help Mia See the Future: A Journey of Healing After a Tragic Accident

The Day Everything Changed
Mia is a bright, vibrant high school student with her whole life ahead of her. Whether she’s playing volleyball, studying, or spending time with her friends, her energy has always been infectious.

However, on March 30, a normal day turned into a nightmare. In a freak accident, Mia was struck in the eye by a BB gun. The impact was devastating, causing severe internal trauma that changed her life in a split second.

The Long Road to Recovery
The journey since that moment has been grueling. Mia has already endured two emergency surgeries to repair the initial damage and attempt to save her vision. While she has shown incredible bravery, her fight is far from over.

Because of the complexity of the injury, her medical team has informed us that there are more doctor visits and surgeries on the horizon. Each procedure brings a mix of hope and anxiety as we navigate:
    •    Complex reconstructive surgeries.
    •    Ongoing specialist consultations.
    •    Lengthy recovery periods that keep her away from school and the life she loves.

Why We Need Your Help
As Mia focuses on healing, the medical bills are mounting quickly. Beyond the surgeries themselves, there are costs for specialized medications, travel to see world-class surgeons, and long-term rehabilitative care.

We want Mia’s only focus to be on her recovery—not on whether we can afford the next procedure that will lead to a full recovery.

How You Can Support Mia
We are asking for your help to ease the financial burden on Mia and her family during this incredibly difficult time. Your donations will go directly toward:
    1.    Upcoming surgical costs not covered by insurance.
    2.    Specialized eye care and prosthetics if needed.
    3.    Post-operative care and therapy to help her adjust.
    4.    Assistance with rent, as Mia’s mom needs to provide round-the-clock care and is unable to work in the foreseeable future.

If you aren’t able to donate, please consider sharing this page with your network. Your prayers, well-wishes, and support mean the world to Mia as she navigates this challenging chapter of her life.

Thank you for standing with Mia as she fights for her vision and her future.
