As much as it hurts my heart to write this, on Thursday, May 17th, my beautiful little sister Sofia Evelich was one of the many 5th graders on their way to Waterloo Village when the school bus they were riding in was involved in a tragic accident. 

My sister is a smart, beautiful vibrant girl who is full of life. Those of you who know Sofia know how much she loves her family and her friends. One of her favorite things to do is spend time with her cousins. She also loves singing, acting and cheerleading. 

Sofia is currently in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. She suffered a severe head trauma and is still in critical condition. Sofia has a long recovery ahead of her, but she is resilient and a fighter. 

My parents have not left her side and will need to continue to be by her side as we face the long and challenging road that lies ahead of her. 

I want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out, kept Sofia and our family in their prayers and sent food. Many of you have asked what else you can do to help. As my parents will need to continue to be by her side any donations for my family are greatly appreciated and will help with expenses. 

We know Sofia is a strong girl and will find the power within to fight her way through this. Please continue to pray for my sister and our family, and for all the other families impacted by this senseless event. 



Thank you.
