Helping Nate's Family through Gabi's devastating dog attack

Donation protected
Hello friends. I’m reaching out to ask for support for a family who has always shown up for others. Nate has faithfully served people in our community for years, and now his family is facing an incredibly difficult season.

Their daughter, Gabi, was the victim of a devastating dog attack. Her arm is critically injured, and the road ahead will involve extensive medical care, multiple surgeries, and long-term rehabilitation. In addition, they must remain watchful for infections that often accompany severe dog bite injuries.

To remain by her side, her parents have had to relocate nearly three hours away from home, putting daily life on hold so they can focus fully on Gabi’s care, healing, and recovery.

The emotional, physical, and financial strain is significant. Travel, lodging, time away from work, ongoing medical needs, and uncertainty about the future have created a heavy burden for this family.

If you feel led, please consider donating or sharing this link. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ease the weight they are carrying and allows them to focus on what matters most, being present with their daughter.

We also ask that you lift this family up in prayer.

Pray for healing and restoration for Gabi’s arm
Pray for wisdom, skill, and clarity for her surgeons and medical team
Pray for strength, peace, and endurance for her parents as they remain far from home
Pray for emotional healing as Gabi and her family walk through this trauma
Pray for protection from infection and complications
Pray for provision so financial and logistical needs do not become additional burdens

Thank you for surrounding this family with love, prayer, and support during this time.
