Hi my name is Tiffany and I’m a second grade teacher reaching out with a heavy heart. One of my sweet students is currently facing an unimaginable challenge. She’s been hospitalized due to serious health complications and is now in urgent need of a liver transplant. Her condition is so critical that she has been moved to the top of the transplant waiting list.

This young girl is not just a student—she’s a light in our classroom. She’s full of kindness, curiosity, and strength beyond her years. Even on difficult days, she manages to bring a smile to those around her. It breaks my heart to see her going through something no child should ever have to face.

Her family is doing everything they can, but as you can imagine, the emotional and financial burden is overwhelming. Between hospital stays, travel, missed work, and upcoming post-transplant care, they are in urgent need of support.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to help ease the financial pressure on her family during this incredibly hard time. Every dollar raised will go directly toward medical expenses, transportation, lodging, and basic needs while they care for their daughter.

Please consider donating, sharing this campaign, and keeping this brave little girl in your thoughts and prayers. Your support—whether big or small—means the world.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me lift up this incredible student and her family.

With gratitude,

Ms. Ruiz
