THREAD: (1/4) Last month, I met w/ Philly pediatricians about kids in our city who are often caught in the crossfire of #GunViolence.
They told me a story of a 16-year-old kid who was shot in the back as he was walking to school.
His diagnosis: paralyzed from the waist down.
(2/4) This 16-year-old kid loved to play basketball and hang out with friends -- now, because of senseless gun violence, he suffers from immense physical and mental trauma while his family is drowning in medical expenses to take care of him.
(3/4) Although doctors & social workers are doing everything they can to support this family and many others in #Philadelphia who are affected by the everyday gun violence that plagues our community, they agree a support system in place is necessary.
(4/4) That's why my bill, the Resources for Victims of Gun Violence Act, is desperately needed -- after families experience such horror, they shouldn't need to rely on GoFundMe for their unique needs -- the government should help! #EnoughIsEnough #EndGunViolence
