11-Year-Old Waukesha Christmas Parade Victim Remains on Ventilator in Critical ConditionNick Gilbertson 27 Nov 2021
Mother Amber Kohnke spent Thanksgiving at the bedside of her 11-year-old daughter, who remains in the hospital on a ventilator and in critical condition after 39-year-old Darrell E. Brooks Jr. reportedly rammed his SUV through the Waukesha Christmas Parade, killing six and injuring sixty-two.
Eleven-year-old Jessalyn Torres was dancing in the Waukesha parade on November 21 and was one of 16 children admitted to Children’s Hospital Wisconsin after the callous rampage, according to a press release from the hospital.
“No mother should ever go through this. This is a very traumatic ordeal,” Jessalyn’s mother, Amber Kohnke, told the New York Post.
According to the family’s verified GoFundMe page, Amber is a single mother of five. She informed the Post that she spent Thanksgiving at the hospital with her unconscious daughter.

“The hardest part was not being with everyone and Jessalyn, in the condition she is, was not able to be with her family either,” she told the Post.
Jessalyn sustained a fractured skull, three pelvis fractures, a lacerated liver, lung contusions, intestinal damage, and her left kidney “was ripped from the artery and vein so it is no longer functional,” states an update on the family’s GoFundMe page.
The 11-year-old requires the assistance of a ventilator to breathe, Amber told the Post.
