Oregon Community Foundation is organizing this fundraiser
Created October 17, 2026
A family in Bend, Oregon, is facing an unimaginable tragedy after their 7-year-old child was shot during the devastating shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School. The child remains in critical condition, fighting for their life in the hospital.
While the family holds on to hope, they are also facing overwhelming emotional and financial challenges. Between traveling to the hospital, finding accommodations, caring for their other child, maintaining their home, and missing work, the everyday expenses continue to grow.
This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of those burdens so the family can focus entirely on their child's recovery. Donations will go toward essential expenses, including hotel stays, transportation, lost income, household needs, and pet care.
No family should have to face financial hardship while waiting at a hospital bedside, hoping and praying for their child to survive.
Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser can help spread the word and bring much-needed support.
Please keep this child and their family in your thoughts as they navigate this heartbreaking time. Your kindness, generosity, and compassion mean more than words can express.
