Join De’Mya’s Road to Recovery❤️‍

Donation protected
On 6/30/2025, our family’s life changed forever.

My sweet, bright, and joyful 10-year-old sister was shot—an innocent child caught in the cruelty of senseless gun violence. The bullet left her paralyzed from the waist down, with a collapsed lung, punctured liver, punctured bladder, and chronic back pain that she now endures every single day.

She survived. But the road ahead is long—and unimaginably hard.

She will require intensive rehabilitation, long-term physical therapy, pain management, and emotional healing. We are doing everything we can to give her the best possible care, but the reality is: the medical expenses, transportation, equipment, and rehabilitation costs are overwhelming.

We are raising funds to:
• Place her in a top-tier rehabilitation facility with specialists experienced in pediatric spinal injuries
• Provide ongoing physical and occupational therapy
• Support medical bills, equipment, home modifications, and care needs
• Ensure she has the tools, environment, and emotional support to regain her strength and confidence
• Support bills needing to be covered while unable to work
She is still smiling. Still fighting. Still hoping.

But she needs your help.

Every donation—no matter how small—brings her one step closer to healing. One step closer to standing strong in the life she still has ahead of her. Please share, donate, and keep her in your prayers.

Thank you for showing up for her, for standing with survivors, and for helping restore her future.
I Jornesha takes care of Demya and I will ensure that anything donated with got to her needs 100%
With love and gratitude,
