Paralyzed Victim in Car Accidnent
Donation protected
My name Is Mariza Shaffa, I am a paralyzed Army veteran. I was hurt due to domestic violence, My ex-husband pushed me off a three story balcony. So now I am a single mother that is a paraplegic complete in a manual wheelchair. I have been injured now for a year and a half. I went to physical rehab for 3 months in Long Beach, CA. Where they taught me to be as independent as i needed to be able to go back home. My family has been very helpful with taking care of my son, but im trying to be as independent as I can to take care of my son. In January I was able to get back to driving, one step closer to my independence I thought. Then this past week i was in a car accident and my car was totaled. I was pulling out of a parking spot on the street and a car coming from around the corner was in my blind spot and hit me dead on the drivers door. Nobody was hurt in the accident thank God but now my insurance will not pay to fix my car. I didnt relize how much idependence i had till I lost my car. I am hoping from the bottum of my heart that i can raise the money to be able to get a new car that i will need to adapt to be able to drive again. I do not want to have to depend on my parents to take me placed with my son. I just want to able to roll in my car and go anywhere with my son on my own.
