Pray for Eleonora Boi — Emotional Healing & God’s Peace After Shark Attack Trauma
Eleonora Boi, sports journalist and wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari, endured a terrifying shark bite while six months pregnant. Though physically safe, the emotional trauma persists. Join Epifia in lifting her up in prayer—asking for deep healing, strength, and divine comfort in this delicate season of her life.
What Happened
- While enjoying a family beach day at Carolina Resort in Puerto Rico (swimming with her two young children), Eleonora was suddenly bitten by a shark on the thigh—initially mistaking the pain for a jellyfish sting.
- She was six months pregnant at the time. Danilo and a Good Samaritan rushed to assist her. A bystander pressed a towel to her wound until help arrived, and she was rushed to the hospital.
- At the hospital, doctors ran tests to confirm her unborn baby's safety before performing surgery on her thigh. Thankfully, both mother and unborn child are physically stable.
- She later shared, “I am traumatized,” adding—“the body can heal, but the mind takes longer.” Though hopeful for recovery, she still struggles emotionally with what happened.
