Hello Everyone,
My name is Zenia and I just opened a GoFundMe account for my cousin Gabriela Arias.  Gabriela is a true inspirational story for all who've had the pleasure to meet and get to know her.  What makes Gaby's story so great is her incredible journey in life.  She came to the US after the very sad and sudden loss of her mother at a very young age.  She had to leave all that she know behind and came to live with her dad, who is one of the nicest guys and all around Great Dad.  Her strong spirit and willingness to do great things quickly enabled her In to learn English, become an Honors Student, and go the extra mile to established herself as one of the top 10 Female Tennis players in the state of Maryland.  Having come from a very humble background and minimal means she was rewarded for her great efforts and just recently started her freshman year at George Mason University with a very promising future in Tennis.

Unfortunately the unthinkable happend... On Christmas Eve after a late tennis practice session and she was headed home for the holidays and misfortune struck.  She was involved in an major accident when a pickup truck side swiped her car on Rt. 50 highway completely destroying her car and sending her racing Ambulance to the hospital.  She was sent to the  University of Maryland Shock Trauma Medical Center in Baltimore, MD had to undergo major surgery on her right leg/ankle for broken and dislocated bones.  The recovery has been very painful but somehow she manages to still put on a smile.  We thank God she is still with us.

Gaby relies on her dad since her mother's sudden passing.  He's her best friend and overall Super Dad.  However over the last year he's become unable to work due to a work accident and he doesn't have the financial means to help with the costs related to this accident.  This is a very sad situation for a very talented young girl and all around great person whose bright future has run into  a very tough situation.  

So on behalf of Gaby and my family I'm reaching out to all who read this message and ask for your help with a donation to help with her medical bills and recovery.  Your donation would go to a great cause and all around great person.  Your donation would also help take a great load off Gaby and her family's already difficult state.  Any donation will be immensely appreciated from myself, my family, my uncle, Gaby, and her teammates/friends.  Please help and show your support for a very deserving young lady and all around beautiful person.
