Unluckily, Rachel was badly hurt in an accident    25    eight days. That was a terrible shock to her friends. They wanted to find some ways of showing    26    to her. They began donating on Rachel’s birthday page. Donations    27    her $300 goal quickly and kept rising.

When it was clear that she would    28    come back to herself（蘇醒）, her parents donated her organs (器官) to other children. They also donated her hair a    29    time to Locks of Love.

More    30    was being raised. The total donations soon reached $100,000, then $300,000. So far more than $850,000 has been raised from all over the world, including donations from the Africans who are moved (感動) by the little American girl.
