The family set up the page to help the girl’s mother pay for “the hospital bills and weeks of missed work that will come.”
The GoFundMe states that 5-year-old Ariel, “suffered swelling in and bleeding in and around the brain. She is in critical condition and hasn’t woken since the crash.”
The Kansas City Star and other news outlets have been able to verify the authenticity of the GoFundMe with a spokeswoman for the company:
