Help Hanna Heal

On the evening of July 6th, the day before her 17th birthday, Hanna Gotch, the daughter of Kelly and Deon Gotch of Streator was involved in a devastating ATV/Ranger accident. Hanna was life flighted to Peoria OSF Children’s Hospital that evening due to life threatening injuries and remains in the PICU today. The extent and impact of Hanna’s injuries are still unknown and we continue to pray for Hanna’s full recovery.

For all who know her, Hanna is full of life, has an infectious smile, and truly is one of the most charismatic human beings you will ever know. She is loved fiercely and immeasurably by her family and friends, and no one is more lost without her than her best pal, Gordon. There are no words that can describe the pain and heartache that is felt by those who love her as they try to process this inconceivable event.

Over the past weeks, we have been overwhelmed by the kindness of countless people asking how they can help, and what they can do for Hanna and her family. We immediately, and will continuously, ask for endless prayers.

Hanna’s injuries are extensive and the doctors have told us she will require continuous medical intervention and care for an unknown amount of time. It is our hope that no medical option be denied to her as she fights to recover. It is our primary goal that Hanna’s parents, Deon and Kelly, and her brother Andrew can focus on supporting her and being with her in Peoria throughout this battle.

We have set up this GoFundMe account to ensure the ability for her family to be constantly by her side and for all non-covered expenses related to Hanna’s current and future needs. “

Our family is beyond blessed by those who have reached out with words, prayers, and thoughts to help heal our sweet Hanna.

We will continue to post updates regarding Hanna, and please know our family is forever grateful for your support and love during this unimaginable time.
