Love & Support for Staci Alisse Vereen

Staci Alisse Vereen, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, cousin and friend, was involved in a horrific event on December 15. By the grace of God and her incredible strength, she survived. Please join us in lifting Staci up with love, support and prayer as she begins her recovery.

Staci was a victim of gun violence at her workplace. Despite insurmountable danger that would make most run in the opposite direction, her co-worker Travis Reiter selflessly rushed to Staci's side to administer aid and was also shot. In another extension of God's grace, Travis survived.

Staci is in critical but stable condition in the ICU at an amazing Philadelphia hospital after her first surgery and will have more procedures in the weeks and months to come. Although her recovery looks promising, she will be unable to work and care for her 3-year-old daughter, and the financial aid we will collectively provide will cover medical expenses and give her security during this time of crisis.

Born and raised in Reading, PA, Staci is 23 years old. She balances being an amazing mother, working two full-time jobs and studying holistic medicine. Staci is happiest when spending time with her large close-knit family, playing with her daughter and traveling to visit her grandparents in Puerto Rico.

On behalf of Staci's daughter, parents, siblings and close-knit extended family, we salute Travis' bravery and send him our undying love and gratitude. We know that his selfless actions for Staci's life will be multiplied in his. Travis is a true #hometownhero and to our family an #angelsentfromabove.

To everyone who has reached out to offer Staci support, we extend the same heartfelt gratitude. We will use this page to keep the community updated on her recovery. Thank you for your support and for respecting our privacy during this challenging time. Psalm 91:11 For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways
