10k reward goal met, household support ongoing

Donation protected
First and foremost, I cannot express my love and respect for this family and how I hit the next door neighbor jackpot living next to them.

There are high risk and low risk circumstances, being at the wrong place at the wrong time. This situation is not that. We live in a quiet, middle class, diverse and inclusive community driven, family friendly neighborhood, with a neighborhood watch where we all look out for one another.

On Sunday, early evening, 2/21/21, 4-brothers, ranging in age from 9 to 26 years old were playing basketball at the park with other families enjoying the park, when 3-males approached on foot and asked “Hey, where you from?”. All three proceeded to start shooting and disappeared as quickly as they came.

The 2nd youngest brother (my 12-yr old daughter’s classmate), was shot in each leg and an artery was hit. Through life savings measures, quick neighbor response, on site medical assistance on the part of responders, along with the wonderful surgeons and all medical staff at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, at this stage, he will live and keep both of his legs as a result of a miraculous artery rebuild using a vein out of the less damaged leg (as warrior angel will remain anonymous, due to his age).

FOR MY PART: I willing and going to put up no less than $8k, all of my savings, towards a reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of these heartless young criminals who have shattered our community’s sense of safety and nearly took the life of a beloved young boy with nothing but a bright future ahead of him, if it is necessary.  My ask is if we can raise enough, I can keep some of my savings, pledging no less than $4k to get this going but prepared to put up $8k if necessary. 

WHAT THIS GO FUND ME IS BEING USED FOR: These funds will go towards family trauma counseling for all family that need it and missed income while mom and dad spend their days and nights at his bedside during recovery. The rest will be a reward to anyone brave enough to come forward and the more money we can offer, the braver someone may get.

FULL TRANSPARENCY: His medical expenses are covered through insurance. I would like to ask for anything, large or small, no amount is too little.

Please share this message, pray for our community, this family and for the capture of the perpetrators of this senseless crime.  For anyone interested we are having a community event at San Tan Park on Sunday 2/28/21, located across the street from our community elementary school, CTA – Humphrey Campus: 125 S 132nd St, Chandler, AZ 85225
