Doctors initially feared the worst for the young girl, as the shooting caused her to temporarily lose her sight and ability to walk. Thankfully, medical professionals are now seeing encouraging signs. “She is beginning to regain her eyesight and can now walk again,” said Lt. Whitaker. “It’s a long journey, but her progress is promising.”
Family Seeks Support
To help cover emergency expenses, relocation costs, and ongoing medical care, the girl’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign, which has already raised nearly $25,000. The fundraiser explains that the family must relocate permanently for safety, leaving their home and jobs behind, while supporting the recovery of their daughter and caring for her three siblings.
Our thoughts remain with the 11-year-old girl, her family, and everyone affected by this tragic event.
