A month ago, my son and I experienced something no family should ever have to go through — we were both shot in an act of senseless violence. By the grace of God, everyone survived-but the journey ahead is long, uncertain, and filled with immense challenges. While I continue to recover from my injuries, my son has been given a life-altering prognosis of paralysis.

Beyond the emotional and physical toll, we are now facing a long road of rehabilitation, medical equipment needs, and drastic changes to our daily lives.

We are humbly reaching out to our community for support. Every donation and act of kindness is a lifeline, and we are profoundly grateful for each one. Above all, we ask for continued prayer over our family.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us as we try to rebuild and heal.

With gratitude,

Makayla
