Let us all be Gabrijela’s family

INDEX.HR and the SOLIDARNA Foundation are starting the action: ‘INDEX Wish: Let us all be Gabrijela’s family’. We may not be able to give Gabrijela her parents and brother back, but we can make growing up a bit easier for her and help her start living independently once she comes of legal age.

Through our shared love and care we can try to help her continue her life without the parental love and attention that was in an instant so violently and tragically taken from her.

A tragedy that shook the region

Gabrijela is a 3-year old girl who lost her parents in a severe accident that happened on 24^th September. She was driving back from a family field trip with her mother, father and brother when their Renault Scenic was directly hit by Pavle Primorac who was racing his BMW with Milo Doko who was in a Mercedes.

Her parents and brother died on site, while little Gabrijela ended up in the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Luckily, the doctors managed to save her life and we have, with the permission of her grandparents, decided to start an action to give Gabrijela back at least a part of the carefree and happy childhood that was taken from her.

Over the last few weeks we were working on legally forming the action to make sure that Gabrijela will have the opportunity to step into a good independent life when she comes of age even without her parent’s help. The majority of the gathered means will be placed into an investment fund where it’s worth will continue to rise until Gabrijela comes of age.
