UC Davis student near fatal stabbing on the train

We are raising funds for our friends Gilbert and Anyes Sonet whose 21-year-old son Noah was stabbed on Amtrak on his way to UC Davis.

Noah was stabbed in the heart, lung, and arm. Thankfully, he could push his assailant, flee a few yards, and collapse in the conductor's cabin. Bleeding profusely he arrived at the Fairfield station where the ambulance was waiting.

Noah was rushed to the ER of North Bay Medical. The trauma surgeon performed an open heart surgery to stitch his heart. He was put in an artificial coma until they could remove the ventilator tube from his throat. They removed his heart and lung drains on the 4th day.

He was discharged to receive home healthcare, and a medical team is coming daily. It will take a few months for Noah to recover fully.

Gilbert and Anyes never imagined this could happen to their kid; it was the longest, most frightening hours of their life. They are so thankful for the people who came to rescue Noah. But now they have to deal with medical bills. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.

Join us in standing with Noah and his family. Your kindness can help turn this nightmare into a story of hope.

Thank you.
