Hello I am Jayden’s mother Stefanie . As most of you know, on June 14th, my son was tragically shot and rushed to the hospital in Fort Wayne, where he underwent emergency surgery to remove a portion of his intestines and his appendix. The bullet remains lodged in his hip, and doctors have determined it cannot be safely removed at this time. As a single mother raising two teenagers, this has been an unimaginable and traumatic experience for our entire family. My son is an incredible young man hardworking, kind, and full of potential. He has accomplished so much already, and his future is bright. Seeing him in pain has been heartbreaking, and the emotional and financial toll of this tragedy is overwhelming. We are asking for support as we navigate his recovery, medical expenses, and the emotional healing process. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us. Thank you for your kindness and prayers during this difficult time.
