Financial support for Ayuen's family
Donation protected
9/1 Update: Ayuen has woken up from her coma and is headed to rehab on Tuesday! She still has a long road ahead and her family is so grateful for the love and support from the community <3 https://www.telegram.com/story/news/local/2024/09/02/teen-wakes-from-coma-after-nearly-a-month-and-asks-to-see-her-family/75047435007/
Ayuen was in a very serious accident and remains in critical condition in the PICU at UMass Memorial. (https://www.wcvb.com/article/worcester-teenager-critically-injured-in-crash-involving-vehicle/61732110)
Although we can't do anything directly for Ayuen right now, we can pool together funds to help alleviate some of the compounding financial pressure on her family, who only recently resettled in Worcester from South Sudan.
The family is so appreciative of all your support during this difficult time. This fundraiser originally started on PayPal to raise one month of rent, but since the story touched so many people, we expanded the fundraiser to GoFundMe and the PayPal fundraiser is now closed. All funds received through PayPal have already been transferred to Jok Leet, who is Ayuen's older brother. All funds received through GoFundMe will be directly transferred to him as well!
