<div>On August 27th 2025, our community was shattered by a heartbreaking school shooting that injured several students — including 12-year-old Sophia Forchas, a bright, kind, and full of life young girl who is now fighting for her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sophia was shot during the attack and is currently in critical condition in the ICU. She has already undergone emergency surgery, and her medical team is doing everything they can to stabilize her. Her road ahead will be long, uncertain, and incredibly difficult — but she is strong, and she is not alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Adding to the heartbreak, her younger brother was also inside the school during the shooting. Though he was physically unharmed, the trauma of witnessing such a terrifying event — and knowing his sister was critically injured — is something no child should ever experience.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Furthermore, her mother, a Pediatric Critical Care nurse, arrived at work to help during the tragedy, before knowing it was her children’s school that was attacked, and that her daughter was critically injured.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her parents are by her side, holding onto hope while also trying to support their son through the emotional aftermath. The financial strain is enormous: ongoing ICU care, future surgeries, trauma counseling, lost income, travel, and the countless unknowns that lie ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to support this brave family during the hardest moment of their lives. Donations will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>•	Sophia’s critical medical care and recovery
</div>
<div>•	Trauma counseling for both children
</div>
<div>•	Family support services and therapy
</div>
<div>•	lost wages for the family
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, if you are able, donate to help this family hold onto hope. And if you can’t give, sharing this page means more than you know. Together, we can ease some of the burden they never should have had to carry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your compassion, support, and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With heartfelt gratitude
</div>
