Chatham Mother & Daughter Struck by Motor Vehicle

Alexandra Robinson and her 4-year-old daughter Annabelle are residents of Chatham borough. On the morning of December 22nd, Alexandra was walking Annabelle to daycare and they were both hit by a car traveling west on Main Street. Prior to crossing the street in the crosswalk, Alex looked in both directions and pressed the traffic button to stop oncoming traffic to ensure that it was safe to cross. They were almost at the other side of the street when a car came barreling through the crosswalk and hit them both. Alex and Annabelle were thrown up onto the hood of the car and hit the windshield. They were both rushed to Morristown Memorial Hospital. Annabelle suffered a concussion while Alex’s leg was shattered, her elbow was broken, and her liver was lacerated and she needed surgery. In addition to these injuries, Alex also had to spend Christmas alone in the hospital with no visitors due to COVID-19 regulations and Annabelle, still recovering from her concussion, spent Christmas without her mother. Alex has now just learned that she will be transferred from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility for an extended period of time. 

Please consider donating to help the family during this difficult time. Alex is going to have many expenses for transportation, childcare, and other incidentals due to her significant injuries.
