Financial help for Sara Goffredo
Donation protected
Sara Goffredo is a 15 year old Sophomore in Mahwah High School. She is a vibrant, smart and loving girl. Sara has a beautiful voice and loves to perform. She has acted in many stage performances and her dream is to be on Broadway one day. She has many friends and loves spending time with them. Her family and friends mean the world to her. She is kind to all and loves to spend time with people.
On May 17, 2016 after a great night of shopping with her mom Linda, Sara began experiencing breathing problems. While Sara has had breathing problems her entire life, her inhaler and nebulizer have always been able to manage and control them. Unfortunately, they were not enough on this night. Her mom, Linda called 911 immediately, but as the EMT and ambulance were arriving Sara's condition has worsened and as she was being transported into the ambulance went into cardiac arrest.
The EMT's were able to revive, intubate and stabilize Sara while in transit to Valley Hospital. Sara suffered a hypoxic brain injury (loss of oxygen to the brain). She has not regained consciousness since the event happened.
On June 1st Sara was transferred to Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick where they specialize in treating children with brain injuries. While she has not regained consciousness yet Sara has shown positive signs while at the rehab facility. They are working diligently to treat her in the best manner possible.
This unexpected incident has completely shocked and decimated the Goffredo family. Bill, Linda and little brother Alex are struggling to cope with Sara's injury and unknown future. While they keep the faith and remain hopeful that she will recover, the pain of not having their daughter and brother home is very much to bear. Bill & Linda have been splitting time staying with Sara in the hospital and caring for Alex, who is very distraught that his sister is not with him.
Bill, who is an employee of Valley Hospital is fortunate to have insurance, but his acute care coverage is limited and will eventually run out. While it is undetermined how long Sara will need such care at this time the family would appreciate help to cover what will be long term expenses for Sara's rehabilitation.
Thank you for taking the time to read and we hope you will donate.
