#KeilaniRising Medical Recovery and Assistance

On Sunday, July 4th, in an act of senseless violence, Keilani Rose was shot in the chest by a bullet. She was getting dropped off at her apartment in Los Angeles by her close friend Printz when two individuals randomly fired a pistol through the driver's side window of his car. Keilani was rushed to Cedar-Sinai Hospital and given immediate emergency care for fractured ribs and a punctured and collapsed right lung. After two blood transfusions and surgery, they were able to begin draining the blood from her lung and chest cavity. She was transferred to the ICU for acute care. Miraculously, her condition stabilized. She remained on oxygen for the days to follow, and breathing was only made possible with the help of an epidural. Soon after, a second surgery was performed to remove the remains of the bullet from her back. She has been learning to breathe and to walk again.

After weeks of emotional and challenging work and recovery, Keilani has the strength to be back on her feet, and her breathing is improving with daily respiratory therapy. We are hopeful and grateful that a full physical recovery is expected in three months. Please help our K-Bird get her wings back.

Any assistance with the long road of physical, mental and spiritual recovery, medical expenses and challenges, including hospital bills (anything not covered by existing insurance), trauma costs of relocation and rehabilitation, continued psychological care, lost wages, etc., is greatly appreciated.

Keilani is one of the most amazing, precious resources this earth still has. Printz is our most extraordinary friend, inspiration, and father.

Mahalo, Snachaliya, Thank you!
