Donate to Aid Jackxtyn's Long Road to Recovery

Everyone is asking what they can do? How can they help? Here is my 19 yr old daughter’s story from

Saturday!

As many already know from my FB post on Saturday evening, my daughter was part of the horrible tragedy that happened at UPMC Hospital this past weekend. After 4 days off work to celebrate her 19th Birthday with friends and family she returned to work Saturday simply clocking in!

1/2 hr before Jackxtyn’s lunch break while doing her job in a patients room on the ICU floor she heard the commotion, simply peeking out to see what the screaming was about she was spotted by the gunman and made come out to the hall and slammed her head into the wall and beat her with his gun. After being forced at gunpoint she had to zip tie the a nurses hands together. Pleading to this disgusting individual to “Please don’t shoot me, I just turned 19 and I just want to go home.” The gunman asked do you not believe I’ll shoot you? Jackxtyn responded, “No sir I do. I’m just asking that you please don’t kill me please!” The gunman responded.. Jesus and my wife sacrificed their life, you need to too! He then shot her at close range in her left thigh and it went through to her right knee cap and got stuck. The gunman then made my daughter limp through the ICU and close all the blinds and tell the officers not to come in. Once she closed the door the gunmans attention got distracted and she was able to limp into the bathroom and close the door….

While in the bathroom I receive the worst call any parent ever wants to get… my daughter on FaceTime sobbing quietly whispering, “I’ve been shot” and crying. Continuing to tell me “she loves me and that there is a shooter and he is going to kill her. And to please come save her!” 1 to 2 minutes later all you heard was what sounded like 500 gunshots.. she was found by officers and removed from the room stepping over the gunmans body.

Fast forward to today… After an extensive surgery. 4 days in the hospital… a right leg she cannot bend at all… stuck in the house with a long road to recovery and God only knows the trauma of her mental state!!

We wait to see how and when she gets compensated. And even when she does it’s not going to be her full pay!! And the living expenses don’t stop!

If you can help her out… make her smile (not much does these days)… let’s make this traumatizing time a little easier for a kid that was just trying to work!
