Support for Meah's Family in Their Time of Loss
Donation protected
On behalf of Christina (Nina), Meah’s mom, I’m creating this GoFundMe account to help her with this unexpected loss and the related expenses that follow.
On Thursday, January 9th, Meah was complaining of a headache and not feeling well while at school. That night she began vomiting and was in and out of sleep. Come morning, Nina began getting more concerned, but things took a turn for the worse when Meah was unresponsive at 11:30 am. She called 911, and an ambulance rushed her to Salem Hospital.
At Salem Hospital, they performed a scan and discovered a mass in her brain blocking fluid from exiting her cranial cavity. This was subsequently causing a buildup of pressure in her skull and onto her brain.
Salem Hospital life-flighted her to Doernbecher’s Children’s Hospital where they immediately performed a procedure to alleviate that pressure in hopes her brain did not suffer major injury. As the next crucial hours went by, we would have liked to have seen Meah begin to wake or show signs of responsiveness. However, things declined quickly to the point of catastrophic and irreversible damage to her brain.
Her mother Christina (Nina) and father Jorge, will prepare to say their final goodbyes and make the hardest decision any parent will ever have to do and take Meah off the machines that are currently keeping her body alive all while knowing her mind is no longer there. They will hold their baby for the last time.
Her mother Nina, father Jorge, her soccer teammates and the organization CFC, and all her family, friends, teachers, and classmates are at a loss for words. We are holding her near and dear to our hearts as we all say our final goodbyes.
If you find it in your heart to donate or repost this, we are forever grateful.
I will update everyone on the celebration of life for those who wish to join. We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers.
