Brianna Hamlett is my 14-year-old little sister, and our family is facing a challenge we never expected. On Tuesday afternoon, Brianna was struck by a car while crossing the street near Temecula Valley High School. The accident was so serious that she had to be airlifted to Loma Linda Hospital in critical condition. Those first hours were terrifying for all of us, but we are deeply grateful that she is now stable and receiving the care she needs.

Brianna is the heart of our family—spunky, social, and always ready to make someone smile. She loves to dance, spend time with her friends, and bring joy wherever she goes. Seeing her in the hospital, facing such a long road to recovery, is incredibly hard for all of us. The journey ahead will involve not just immediate medical care, but months of therapy, rehabilitation, and emotional support. Our family will also need to stay close to the hospital, which means extra costs for travel, housing, and meals while we support Brianna every step of the way.

We are so thankful for the outpouring of support, prayers, and kind words from friends, family, and our community. Your generosity will help us focus on Brianna’s healing and give her the best chance at a full recovery. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time.
