Hi, my name is Salena, and I’m the mother of a beautiful and strong 9-year-old girl named Brooklyn.
On Friday, Brooklyn was in a tragic car accident while on her way to the beach with her aunts and four cousins for a girls’ trip. She is now in the Children’s Hospital, facing multiple surgeries and a long road to recovery.
She has undergone surgery to repair her large intestine and remove parts of her small intestine. She also has a serious spinal injury that will require surgery to stabilize her spine. Brooklyn is currently on a ventilator as she fights to heal.
Brooklyn is the sweetest, kindest soul you could ever meet. She loves playing outside and dreams of becoming a teacher when she grows up. She is the light of our world.
Her dad and I want nothing more than to be with her every step of the way. But with other children at home and bills that don’t stop, we are facing a difficult financial burden. We are asking for help so we can be by her side and also make sure our boys are cared for at home with a sitter and meals.
All donations will go toward household bills, childcare, food for the boys, and anything else needed during this time so we can focus on supporting Brooklyn.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, and support.
—Salena & Family
