Medical Expenses for Gabriella
Donation protected
Gabriella is my little cousin. I remember exactly where I was the day her mom called me in tears. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and when I saw the photos of Gabriella I couldn't breath. It was a feeling similar to what I felt on 9/11. Complete shock and horror. I struggled to wrap my head around how something like this could happen to this precious little 10 year old.
When Gabriella was in fifth grade she was the victim of a horrific violent assault by a classmate at school. That incident has forever changed the lives of her and her family. He has since been found guilty of two felonies - aggravated assault with serious bodily injury and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Gabriella received multiple serious injuries that have been ongoing now for three years. She has gone through several hospital stays, spinal surgery and extensive physical and mental therapy (that will continue into the unforeseeable future). Her and her family have gone through the unimaginable and are still so strong. As hard as it is to ask, they need help. With the surgeries, hospital stays, therapy and so many other related expenses that haven't been covered by insurance, it's way too much for their family to keep up with.
No child or parent should have to go through this. The amount of stress this beautiful family has had to endure over the last few years breaks my heart. They will use these funds to pay off the mountain of medical bills that insurance will not cover as well as to continue Gabriella's therapy so she can get back to being the child she deserves to be! Without help Gabriella may not be able to receive the care she desperately needs right now.
If you can please donate $10, $20, or even a $1, anything and everything helps.
They are beyond grateful that you've even considered helping. Thank you so very much!
