July 4th, Hamilton Park Shooting survivor

Hi everyone. My name is Jaden and I am the brother of Carolina Brown, who was shot at the 4th of July festivities, in Hamilton Park, Dallas, on the 4th of July. Lina, thought she was going to go have a good time hanging out with her friend at the 4th of July fireworks, this past holiday. What started as fun, turned into my families BIGGEST nightmare. As Lina, was leaving she heard what she thought was a firework, but soon realized that she had been shot. She was sitting in the backseat of her car when this happened. He friends immediately jumped into action, by holding the wound and speeding to Medical City Dallas Hospital. Luckily they made it in just enough time for her to ask them to call our mother and they took her back to surgery. Lina was shot twice. Once in the abdomen and once in the thigh. She was in the woods for quite sometime during her surgery and we didn't know if we were going to lose my sister. However, Lina is strong and prevailed.

 

This situation has caused her a lot of depression, anxiety and distrust in people, but she will say that she forgives the shooter's. However, her medical bills have skyrocketed. She has had 2 surgeries at this point and the doctors are still waiting on the bullets to surface a little more before she undergoes ANOTHER surgery to have them removed.

 

Lina, is the best sister ever!!! Not only is she a nursing school student, track star and big and little sister, she helps my mom with our little sister who is 13 and has cerebral palsy. Unfortunately she hasn't  been unable to wear all those hats, since the 4th. We are asking that you help take the load off a little bit by donating to her gofundme, to help with medical bills and paying for her tuition, now that she is unable to run track. Anything would be greatly appreciated!!! Also, please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers, because we have a long way to go!!! Thank you for your time.
