Support Sofia’s Healing Journey: A Community's Call to Action

Dear Friends, Family, and Community Partners,

The Leataata Floyd Elementary staff and community are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for support. Our beloved Sofia, an 8-year-old, was tragically shot in a senseless act of violence on July 2, 2024. Despite this unimaginable event, Sofia has shown incredible strength and resilience in the face of difficult circumstances, undergoing surgery and now bravely facing a long road to recovery.

Sofia is not just any 8-year-old; she is a vibrant, happy, and loving child who lights up every room she enters. She loves to give BIG hugs to LFE staff every day at school, play with her friends at recess and dances in the Polynesian club on campus. Her infectious smile and BIG hugs bring joy to everyone who knows her in our community. As her community, we have the power to help Sofia and her family through this challenging time.

What Happened:
On a day that should have been like any other, Sofia was caught in the crossfire of a tragic incident. She was rushed to the hospital and underwent emergency surgery. Thanks to the skilled hands of her medical team, Sofia's life was saved, but her journey to full recovery is just beginning.

Our Goal:
We aim to raise $25,000 to cover the costs of Sofia's medical care and support her family's needs during this difficult time. Every dollar donated will go directly towards Sofia’s medical bills, ongoing therapy, and the resources she and her family need to heal both physically and emotionally. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant impact on Sofia's recovery and help alleviate the financial burden on her family.

Ways to Donate:

Online Donation: Visit our GoFundMe page to contribute directly (Preferred)
In-Person: Please contact Kayla to coordinate in-person donations, as our summer hours vary.
