Stand with Endre: Overcoming Tragedy Together

Dear friends, family and kind-hearted strangers,

Yesterday, our family's world was turned upside down.

My 13-year-old nephew, Endre, was tragically shot twice while he attended mass at Annunciation Church with his school. It's impossible to make sense of this act of violence against children, in a place that should have been a sanctuary of peace and safety.

In the face of unimaginable fear and pain, Endre showed strength and faith beyond his years.

Before he was rushed into surgery, Endre looked at the surgeon and asked one simple, powerful request, "Can you say a prayer with me?"

The surgeon later told us that not only did Endre survive the surgery, he fought through a terrifying event with courage that inspired the entire medical team. That moment of prayer, and Endre's resilience, will stay with our family forever.

Right now, he is recovering from surgery at the hospital, surrounded by his loved ones and the best medical team possible. While the road ahead is long, we are beyond grateful he is still with us. The emotional and physical healing ahead will take time and resources.

We are raising funds to help with Endre's medical bills, rehabilitation, trauma counseling and support for his immediate family as they will remain by his side every step of the way.

We want to extend our deepest prayers and love to the other victims and families impacted by this horrific tragedy. We are holding them all close to our hearts as we navigate this together.

If you're able to donate, pray or even share this page, we are deeply thankful. Every act of kindness makes a difference and reminds Endre—and all of us—that we're not alone.

With Love and Gratitude,

Natalie Davis and family
