Help 10 year old Andre Howard Recover After Plane Crash

My name is Lashawn Hamiel, I am Andre’s mother.

On Friday, January 31, 2025 around 6pm tragedy struck in Philadelphia when a plane crashed and caused debris to fall. While trying to protect his 4yrs old sister, a piece of debris went through the car's windshield, piercing 10-year-old Andre Howard III in his head causing serious injuries. Now, Andre faces a long and difficult road to recovery.

Andre’s family is overwhelmed with the emotional and financial burden of this unexpected tragedy. His medical care, which includes surgeries, therapy, and ongoing treatment, will be extensive. While Andre’s strength and resilience shine through, his recovery will require time, care, and resources.

This GoFundMe is set up to provide vital support for Andre and his family during this challenging time. Donations will go toward:

• Medical expenses not covered by insurance

• Rehabilitation and physical therapy

• Support for his family, including travel, lodging, and lost income as they take time to care for Andre

• Day-to-day needs as they adjust to life after this tragic event

Andre is a kind, loving child with a bright future. This tragedy has shaken our family and the community, but with your help, we can focus on what matters most: helping Andre heal and thrive.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this page to spread the word.
