Six-year-old Gabriel Pace was involved in a motor-vehicle accident in January 2008, when he and his family were hit by a drunk driver. Gabe sustained massive head trauma and was rushed to the hospital. Since that night, he has been in and out of the ICU, undergone several surgeries, and remains in a coma.
Gabriel's mother and father, Scott and Jennifer, have kept vigil over Gabriel daily since the accident. Jennifer has remained by his side almost constantly day and night. However, life goes on and the family has their monthly bills to pay. They need a new car, as their's was totaled and their insurance is insufficient to meet these costs. Both have gone back to work, but they're extremely behind from the extensive work they've missed. Their baby remains in the hospital in a coma, while they try to keep their lives in order. Bills and a rental car are the last thing this family should have to worry about.
Each day brings both advancements and setbacks in Gabriel's recovery. It's an emotional roller coaster for his parents. He is still in a coma and hasn't yet awoken. Once he does however, he will need an around-the-clock nurse, therapy, and several other resources. That will also be an uphill battle for the small family. The family needs a larger apartment to bring Gabe home to, to make room for all of his medical supplies. They'll need funds to help them move.
