A small tidbit from the Give Forward link above:
On 5/29/14 my daughter Mariah was struck by a car while she walking from home after taking her year end Biology test. She was brought to the hospital with internal bleeding, multiple fractures, and needed immediate surgery. The surgeries on her back, spine, legs, and shin are going to be numerous, and her recovery is going to be even longer. It is unknown how long she is going to be in the hospital – but its going to be a very long time, and then require extensive post hospital therapy and treatment. Also this means we’re going to have to re-engineer the house now to be accessible for her.
Many players here in Arizona know the Pagliocco family personally as they lived in Arizona before Mariah’s father Tony took a job at Wizards of the Coast. As a result we have multiple charity events to help raise funds for the costly medical battles and hopefully make their lives a bit easier in this time of change.
