Family & Friends,
As many of you know, our daughter Grace Olivia Scheipe - #AmazingGrace was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident on Saturday, October 1st. We are thankful that the other passengers in the vehicle have fully recovered. Unfortunately, Grace suffered cardiac arrest resulting in a severe Traumatic Brain Injury. Grace spent 39 days in the ICU at Parkland Memorial Hospital and was subsequently transferred to Craig Hospital in Englewood, CO where her condition has greatly stabilized. Grace will be coming back to Dallas on March 8th and will continue daytime neuro rehab at CNS (Centre for Neuro Skills). This will be a long-term place for Grace to continue her recovery, as she remains Minimally Conscious without the ability to control motor function. We remain optimistic for her long-term prognosis, despite the long odds. We strongly believe in the power of faith, which has been remarkable to witness from the thousands of people that are following her story through her CaringBridge Site.

Many have asked how they can provide support to Grace and our family. We are so honored by everyone’s willingness to help, so have decided to partner with Team Luke Hope for Minds to raise funds for Grace’s continuing care and other kids suffering similar injuries. These injuries are devastating for families emotionally and financially. A portion of the funds raised will support the mission of Team Luke, which is so desperately needed for many families. We have been blessed with great insurance that has helped cover >$2M of hospital costs to date. Future costs will be significant and mostly not covered by insurance, so help supporting Grace by providing a higher level of care and the appropriate equipment / resources is very helpful.
As we navigate the coming months and years with Grace, we ask you to continue to pray that our beautiful daughter will find her way back to us.
With gratitude,
K.C. & Joanna
