The 5th grader has gone through multiple surgeries and has severe damage to her liver, her family said. She's still on a feeding tube and experiencing a lot of pain.

An anonymous donor came forward Saturday to increase the reward that was originally $4,000, according to community activist Andrew Holmes.
