On August 7th, the Kingwood/Humble community will join together with hundreds of others to help assist the family of 16-yr-old Rachel Zientek, with their mounting medical expenses as she fights to recover from a fiery plane crash in Alaska that has left her with burns on a large percentage of her body and other very serious injuries.
Her father, Officer Mike Zientek, has taking time off as a Houston police officer (who serves Kingwood/Forest Cove) to be with Rachel in Seattle, where she was in serious condition at the burn intensive care unit of Harborview Medical Center. She was moved to Houston this past week where she will likely remain in the hospital for two to three months, and undergo in-patient rehabilitation.
Our goal for THE RACHEL ZIENTEK BIG TOP FUND RAISER & BBQ is to raise at least $10,000 at this 6 hour event, which represents less than $0.50 per resident in Humble and Kingwood. Please help us reach that goal with your support.
