EAST HAVEN, CT — This East Haven family has suffered tragedy after tragedy. Deann Uberti's 7-year-old daughter Ariana was raped and murdered in 2009. Then, two years later, her longtime boyfriend —and her daughter Isabella "Bella" Chambasis's father Jorge — was killed in a motorcycle crash. Now, Bella is desperately ill and the family needs help.

" It will enable her to continue treatment and medications while Deann continues to search for affordable health care plans for when Bella is released from the hospital."
