Family sets up GoFundMe page
The Steinle family sets up a gofundme page (link) to support causes important to Steinle, including Challenged Athletes Foundation each year, which she worked for each year, and PAWS: the Performing Animal Welfare Society. CAF President:
What always impressed me about Katie was how genuinely she engaged herself with challenged athletes, how genuinely interested she was in their life, their tragedy, and guided them on how best to deal with that
Katie Steinle killed age 31
Steinle, a medical device sales person, is walking on a busy pier in San Francisco with her father when there is a single popping sound in the air. She falls to the ground, struck by a bullet in the upper body. Mother:
She just kept saying, ‘Dad, help me, help me’.
She is taken to San Francisco General Hospital. Her heart stops twice on the way to the hospital. She dies during surgery.
She fought for her life. They said how strong she was but they just couldn’t save her.
