My name is Emmy Dean. I work for Mandalay Bay in the city of Las Vegas. Ariel Romero is a fellow Loyola Marymount University alum,  Theta sister, and friend to all. During the mass shooting at Route 91 Sunday night, Ariel was shot in the face and her boyfriend, Mikey Duarte's, litte sister, Christiana, was shot and missing. Ariel is in stable condition currently in the hospital,  but Christiana has since been found and confirmed dead. I do not know the Duarte family personally, but I grieve for them deeply. Ariel is alive, but she faces hospital and surgery bills, and she faces the trauma of living through an event like this and losing a friend.

Because I do not know the Duarte family personally, all funds donated to this account will be sent directly to the Romero family for medical expenses and I know they will be in communication with the Duarte's, too.

Ariel and Duarte family, we stand by you through this and you have the prayers of thousands on your side.
