Recovery Assistance for Virginia

Recovery Assistance for Virginia

From Amy Keel

Virginia was hit by a truck while riding her bike - this broke her back in 4 places, broke her ankle, most of her ribs, bones in her face... I am raising funds for medical and basic needs like groceries, utilities, meds.

More Info

Years ago when my kids were young I had this really close friend - our kids were close in age, we had a lot in common and for a few years we were pretty inseparable. Life happened and we eventually lost touch - fast forward 15 or 16 years and I just found out that she is going through one hell of a trial at the moment.

.

She was hit by a truck while riding her bike just after thanksgiving. Broke her back in 4 places, broke her ankle, many of her ribs, bones in her face... she has a very long recovery ahead. She can't move without assistance and is staying with her elderly mother who is doing the best she can to take care of her.

.

A few weeks into this personal nightmare for her, right before Christmas, her beautiful daughter of 23 or 24 died suddenly.

.

Income is limited, there is no insurance. The hospital bed they have at home is about to be taken away because the $200 a month payment is just too much. Basic needs like groceries and utilities are barely being met and I am just absolutely heartsick. I am going to do what I can to help - but thought I would reach out here and see if anyone would be inclined to help me help her.

.

Please friends, if you have the inclination to help please donate here or reach out to me.
