Please help us honor Shayna's memory

This is my daughter Shayna Michelle Meadows who is 3½ year old. On Wednesday night she was rushed to the hospital in Hemet, CA while there the decision was made to airlift her from Hemet to the Loma Linda Children's Hospital. There she was taken to the pediatric ICU unit and the doctors there put her on life support and had a ventilator breathing for her. They did a CT scan on her only to see that there's no brain activity at all ever since the night she arrived. They ran her blood and tox screen and nothing came back Today or tomorrow the doctors at Loma Linda Children's Hospital will be complete their final brain function exam and if it's consistent with brain death they would pronounce her, which ended up happening on March 16, 2022 at 10:47am.  Shayna was the sweetest, most loving little girl you could ever meet. She brought joy, happiness and light to all of the lives that she touched. She was our whole world. She was living proof that angels exist because she was such an angel. She had the biggest brightest smile that could light up the world. You could have the worst day ever, and just one look at that infectious smile of hers and all of those bad feelings would go away. She had a chromosome disorder that caused her to have developmental delays. She never could speak, she just made these little sounds. So it made it hard for her to express her wants or needs. She was in speech therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy 3-4 times a week and was in special Ed preschool 4 days a week. So for a 3 year old, she had a very busy life. But she never complained or cried or fussed over any of it. She was always such a strong girl. She loved watching her favorite TV show on Nick Jr called Shimmer and Shine. She was literally OBSESSED. She refused to watch anything else. She had Shimmer and Shine dolls, Shimmer and Shine bookbag, I was going to make her a Shimmer and Shine 4th birthday party which is October 29th. She loved eating literally anything, she was not a picky girl at all. She loved jumping on her bouncy horse and loved playing with her bells. She loved being in water. Every summer I'd blow up her little kiddie pool, fill it up and let her play in the water. She LOVED shower time ,so much so that she would always try to go in the shower even when it wasn't turned on. She had these weird little quirks. She would grab your hand and cover her face with it.  Her kisses were the wettest, sloppiest yet most loving kisses ever.  She absolutely loved life and wanted to experience all it had to offer  she was so energetic at times she was like the Energizer bunny bc she kept going and going and going  She would go around flapping her hands and kicking her legs. I always thought that was her way of dancing so I'd dance with her at times in the living room, just being goofy together. Back in Sept she started going to school. She had to get up super early but she loved going. She had the most wonderful teacher, who she loved to pieces and her teacher loved her back even more . Shayna touched the lives of everyone she come into contact with. We knew that she loved us and she absolutely knew that we loved her more than life itself. The proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards her memorial and service as well as any other unforseen costs that might be incurred from this tragedy. We appreciate any and all help that may be donated it's only thru ur help that we might be able to get thru all this without adding any undue stress to an already extremely stressing time in our lives. Thank you to each and every one of you
