Aid Virginia's Sister in Her Fight for Recovery
Donation protected
Hello My name is Virginia and I am trying to raise money for my younger sister. She is 22, and a single mom of a four year old girl. On August 17th she was in a motorcycle accident cause by debris and gravel on the road. She slid out and crashed into a guard rail. She broke her left arm and left leg, shattered her left ankle, has 3 fractured ribs, 2 neck fractures and 1 small skull fracture. Her right lung collapsed and her chest caved in and they had to put a tube in to drain internal bleeding and relieve pressure. She has a brain bleed, nerve damage and 2 nerves ripped out of her spine that has caused loss of function and feeling in left arm and hand. Her chest artery was crushed and they had to make her a new one from a cow. At this point she has gone through 4 extensive surgeries with more coming in the future.
We have tried to get her disability and public aid but she has been denied for it and wont get any assistance. She is unable to work and we don't know when she will be able to go back. My sister is struggling to cope with the fact that she will be unable to provide for her daughter or take care of all her bills. She suffers from depression and anxiety in daily and this is causing her to really struggle and affecting her recovery.
We are asking for any and all help we can get. All funds will go towards rehabilitation, care for her daughter, daily life and bills. We are aware that GoFundMe charges a fee so if you would prefer to donate using Zelle, cash App, ect. please reach out to me.
Thank you to anyone that donates we so greatly appreciate your support and for anyone unable to please keep her in your thoughts and share this post.
