On Friday October 21st my 15 year old niece Daniah was in the band room preparing to go out on the field for the VMHS football game when she had a seizure. She was a perfectly healthy kid until this point. It has been 3 weeks and she is still hospitalized at Children's Hospital. At one point she had to be placed on a ventilator as a preventive measure due to the seizure meds dropping her heart rate.

My sister Michelle is a single mother of 3. In addition to Daniah, she has a son playing basketball in College and her youngest daughter in Middle School playing on the JV Basketball team.

She has missed weeks of work due to being at the hospital plus she has been trying to support my nephew at his College basketball games and my niece at her Middle School basketball games.

We know travel, hospital expenses and loss of income can be expensive and overwhelming.

On behalf of my sister, nieces and nephew, I am asking for help in assisting them with those expenses and Michelle's loss of income.

We greatly appreciate everyone who has covered Daniah in prayer, provided monetary gifts, and had meals/snacks delivered.

Please keep Daniah and our family in your prayers.

Thanks,

Katrina Pope
