Hello, my name is Makayla Hughes. I'm making this GoFundMe because something horribly tragic has happened to my family and so many wonderful people have reached out asking how they can help. As many of you know, my sister, Nicole Hughes and niece Ariella (Ella) were taken far too soon. Left behind is my brave, strong, amazing niece Abrianna (Brina), who was Nicole's oldest daughter (5). She is expected to make a full recovery from the physical injuries inflicted. As terrible as this situation is, we are so grateful for her to still be in our lives. This GoFundMe is set up to ensure Brina recieves anything she may need as far as medical bills, a college fund, and any future needs that might come up. Again, I want to thank everyone for respecting our privacy while we heal and all of the kind words, support and love that has been sent our way. Please know how much it has been appreciated.
