Bill and Marla's medical expenses
Donation protected
My name is Hope, and my parents were in a horrific motorcycle accident in South Dakota on Monday, August 8th. They were both on my Dad's bike, traveling around 50 mph, when a large deer came from the other side of the highway and basically t-boned the bike, hitting my Dad hard enough to knock him out with a concussion & crash the motorcycle. The deer hit him hard enough to break his scapula, break 4 ribs, puncture his lung, and leave deer blood & hair stuck in his helmet! And the crash itself severely broke his ankle, not to mention all of the road-rash he sustained. He will have surgery on his ankle next week to place the necessary pins and hardware to help with healing. My Mom was thrown from the motorcycle and slid down the pavement, causing intense & severe road rash over her entire body. She has major swelling & bruising especially on both legs, but surprisingly her knees weren't broken. If they weren't wearing their helmets, this would be a much different plea for help!
If you know my parents, then you know how strong they are, but this has really knocked them down. It's heartbreaking that my Mom can barely walk, and my Dad is basically immobile from his extensive injuries. They can't even help take care of each other because they're both in so much pain, and its devastating to see them being this helpless.
The medical bills thus far have reached levels unimaginable for these two to cover, not considering the upcoming bills for surgery and continued treatment.
Being one of their six children, we definitely provide some of the love and support that they desperately need, but financially we're unable to cover their medical expenses. I know raising money for them would help in many ways, especially reducing the stress they have facing all of these incoming medical bills. Since neither one is able to work, they're also losing money without their income coming in. I just want them to heal their bodies & minds without all the added financial worry. PLEASE consider donating to this fund, and know that my parents will be so grateful for your generosity. My 5 siblings & I will also be beyond grateful for your willingness to help my parents heal successfully. Please know that any amount, no matter how small, will make a difference!
Thank you and Bless you all for taking the time to read their story, and tell everyone you know to wear a helmet, because they save the lives of the ones we love!
Namaste,
Hope
