Help with Expenses for Gracie Hicks family
Donation protected
Hello, I am Gracie's Aunt and I am fundraising for financial relief for the family of Gracie Hicks.
Gracie was tragically hit by a car while riding her bike on Saturday, September 11, 2021. She was care-flighted to Wisconsin Children's where she has been in Intensive Care on Life Support for several days. Her medical care team has gone to extensive lengths to save Gracie's life but inevitably they were not able to do so, Gracie passed away Thursday evening, September 16, 2021.
As you can imagine, this has been an unbelievable blow to Gracie's Parents, Siblings, Grandparents, extended family, friends and everyone who knows and loves her. At just 15 years old, Gracie had so much life ahead of her and it's a tragic loss to this family, her school, and the many communities where Gracie has lived in her short life.
In a beautiful gesture, her parents have decided to donate her organs in an attempt to bring some good from this tragedy. This is a testament to the giving nature of this family who has endured so much this past week.
As you can imagine, there will be many financial challenges for this family to walk through with hospital bills, travel expenses, funeral expenses and lost wages. We would like to lighten the financial burden for this family so they can focus on grieving and supporting one another. If you find yourself called to give, we are so very appreciative. Any donation, however large or small, will help.
