I am opening this page to help our friends pay their medical expenses after their 11 year-old boy was in an accident and fell from an electric-bike. He lost several of his upper adult teeth and the family would appreciate any and all support in covering their large dental bills.

We know how costly dental procedures can be!

The Kifle family are wonderful people and members of our community. ...a perspective held by everyone we know!

Sharing their story below:

Hi everyone,

My little brother recently had a serious e-bike accident that caused him to lose his three adult front teeth. We’re reaching out to ask for your support to help cover the cost of his dental procedures and give him back his beautiful smile.

He’s truly one of the sweetest kids you’ll ever meet. Born in Eritrea, he lived in Ethiopia for five years before we moved to Arlington about a year ago. Life hasn’t been easy for him — he was separated from our dad when he was just 11 months old and only reunited with him last year when we moved here. Despite all he’s been through, he’s remained incredibly strong and mature beyond his years.

He’s an honor roll student, loved by his teachers and friends for his kind heart and bright spirit. He loves being outdoors, playing with his friends, and making people laugh. His strength and resilience are inspiring, but this accident has been tough on him.

Any amount you can give would mean the world to us and help bring back his confident smile. Thank you for your kindness and support — it truly means everything.
