Viangelo Needs Your Help

The day after 4th of July, 11 year old, Viangelo suffered a life-altering injury when a firework mishap caused his hand to explode, resulting in the loss of two of his fingers. We searched for hours to recover them, but by the time we found the fingers, it was too late to reattach them.

Viangelo 's resilience and courage in the face of this ordeal has been truly inspiring. Despite the challenges he now faces, he maintains a positive outlook and an unwavering determination to adapt and overcome. His mother, Shante, has been his pillar of support, tirelessly advocating for his well-being.

One of the ways that Viangelo could regain a sense of normalcy and enhance his quality of life is through the assistance of a skilled plastic surgeon who specializes in prosthetic fingers. These prosthetics would not only provide Viangelo with functional benefits but also contribute greatly to his emotional and psychological healing.

However, the financial burden associated with such medical procedures can be overwhelming for Shante and her family. This boy needs help. More help than our immediate Watts community can provide. As a proud mother and woman, Shante was hesitant to seek help from strangers, but we have come together as a community to ask for help on her behalf.

No contribution is too small, and your kindness would have a lasting impact on Viangelo 's life. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
