On May 13, 17-year-old Kiara Macejunas-Neely, from California, went to a River Cats baseball game with her family for a fun night out.

During the game, a foul ball unexpectedly hit her in the eye, turning the evening into a frightening emergency.

She was seriously injured, suffering a concussion, bleeding in her brain, and a broken bone near her eye.

So, she was rushed to the hospital and has been under medical care ever since.

Kiara has a long road ahead. Her recovery will involve many kinds of treatment, including therapy for her brain and thinking skills, eye care, medical check-ups, possible surgery, and mental health support.

She will also need help getting to and from all her appointments.

Unfortunately, not everything is covered by insurance, and her parents, Kortney and Michael, are burdened by the medical bills.

They’re reaching out for help to ensure Kiara gets her needed care.

Any support, big or small, or even just sharing her story, would mean a lot to the family.

On May 19, Kiara’s mom shared a positive update about her recovery.

Despite all the medical challenges, her dad expressed their feelings in a simple but meaningful way.

The family plans to share more updates after Kiara sees a specialist.

They’re very thankful for everyone’s prayers and support.

A touching moment gave them hope after a night of praying for her vision: Kiara noticed a flash of orange light from the Christmas lights in her room.

Her family asks everyone to keep the prayers coming, believing it’s making a difference.
