Support Alexis and Her Son After Tragic Shooting

Donation protected

  • On July 13th, 2024, my family and I went through a tragic event and although it affected us all, my 25-year-old daughter Alexis and my 2-year-old grandson are by far affected the most. They were both shot by someone who was also close to them. By the grace of God, they are both still with us. My grandson seems to be doing great, although traumatized, he's healing great. He was shot in his thigh and luckily it was a clean hole all the way through so he got no stitches or anything. He's running around and playing with just a small limp. My Daughter, on the other hand, was shot in her face so her wounds are a bit more severe. She will be blind in her left eye because the bullet went all the way through it and more than likely lose her eye. She was in surgery for close to 5 hours because they did try to save her eye. I want to add that my daughter's actions saved her son's life because she turned him and laid him on the bed and laid over top of him as 5 shots were fired through the door to her apartment. If she would not have done this all 5 shots would have possibly hit him. So she literally took that bullet for her son. This is the most amazing thing I have ever heard and I know I am blessed with such an amazing daughter. She's not only strong... she's a hero to her son.


Due to these events, she's going to struggle very much to meet her financial needs so I'm just trying to get her a little bit of help, anything will help her at this point. Thank you for taking the time to read her story.
