On April 25, 2013 Zahori Toledo, a GBYSL competitive soccer player, was taken to Renown Region Medical center with what was thought to be food poising. Upon arrival at Renown Zahori was sent by care flight immediately to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, CA with diagnosis of liver failure with a possibility of an emergency transplant. Zahori was placed in a medically induced coma for 7 days on complete life support, where several specialists watched over her medical care intently. Zahori remained in the pediatric intensive care unit for 3 weeks. Zahori has since been moved from ICU and her condition has been upgraded to stable / but cautious. She will remain under the direct care of the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital while she continues to heal. Zahori's survival is due to her amazing determination and her strong will. Her progress is slow, but her family is hopeful that she will be able to return home while waiting for a donor.
Please join us in a benefit tournament in honor of Zahori.
100% of all proceed will go to help her family with medical expenses.
