Central Oregon – The family of Saylor Graham‑Poarch issued a heartfelt update on their daughter’s condition following the tragic shooting at Silver Rail Elementary. Saylor was initially listed in critical condition, but she is now stable and has been transferred out of the intensive care unit.
Recovery Ahead
While grateful for the progress she has made, the family acknowledges that Saylor faces a long road to full recovery. “All we want right now is to be with her through it,” the statement reads, emphasizing the importance of family support during this difficult time.
Grieving the Lost
The statement also extends deep sympathy to the families of the three children and the teacher who were killed in the attack. “Our hearts are broken for them, and we grieve with them,” the family wrote, underscoring the shared sorrow felt throughout the community.
Community Support and Prayer
Thanking neighbors, friends, and strangers for their prayers, messages, and acts of kindness, the family noted they cannot respond to every individual expression of support but appreciate each one. “Every kind word, prayer, and act of support means more to us than we can say,” they added.
How to Help
To assist with the mounting costs of Saylor’s medical care and the time required for her recovery, the family has set up a GoFundMe campaign. They invite anyone who wishes to contribute, share the link, or continue offering moral support.

Continued Prayer and Unity
In closing, the Graham‑Poarch family asks the community to keep Saylor in thoughts and prayers as she heals. “We are beyond grateful that she is still here with us,” they wrote, expressing profound gratitude for the outpouring of love and support.
