Lets Help Nelkys!

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Stephanie. On the evening of September 15th, my dear friend, 35-year-old Nelkys from Elizabeth, went to Wendy’s with her two young boys. What was meant to be a simple family outing turned into a nightmare when a nearby argument escalated outside. As Nelkys and her children returned to their car, gunfire broke out. Nelkys was struck by a bullet while her two boys were in the back seat. In that terrifying moment, she stayed calm and brave for her children until first responders arrived. Nelkys is now in the hospital, facing a long and difficult recovery while caring for the emotional well being of her children. If you know her, you know she is a loving mother, a resilient woman, and a dedicated small business owner who has worked hard to provide for her family. This GoFundMe has been created to help support Nelkys through the healing process, covering medical expenses, childcare, household needs, and the financial strain of not being able to fully operate her business during this time. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this link so we can reach as many people as possible. Together, we can help Nelkys and her family through this unimaginable time.
