Hola mi nombre es Eunice Rivera. En Octubre 11, 2020 tuvimos un accidente automobilistico al salir de trabajar. Apenas saliendo de la luz una pick-up que no se detuvo ante la luz roja nos impacto. En el accidente yo y mi hija nos vimos afectadas. Mi niña se rompio tu tibia y su frente, Gracias a Dios esta bien. En cambio yo, perdi conciencia, me fracture la nariz, me fracture la acetibular (es el hueso en la cadera en donde se conecta el femur, y tambien tuve dislocamiento del femur. 
   Mientras estuve en el hospital tuve el peor trato que jamás había presenciado. Antes de entrarme de emergencia a operarme me hicieron la prueba del Covid-19, y salio positivo. En ese momento todos desaparecion. Luego me informaron lo que hiban hacer desde la puerta asomando solo la cara. Yo estaba a gritos del dolor. Sacaron a mi mama del hospital y me pusieron en el cuarto sola, me taparon con sabanas como una leprosa. Decidieron no operarme porque según hiba a infectar la sala de operaciones, en donde todos sabemos que la sala de operaciones tiene que ser "sterilized" entre  cada paciente. Llorando les suplique que me atendieran, que era discriminacion, la resuesta fue "it's what it is". Despues de 24hrs es cuando deciden entrarme a sala de operaciones. El doctor corriendo me dijo are esto y se fue corriendo, jamás supe que me dijo. JAMÁS lo volvi a ver, nisisquiera despues de la operacion, ni siquiera vino a verificar mi herida, nunca me explico que seguia, adsolutamente NADA. 
    Al siguiente día en la mañana las enfermeras querian que me parara de la cama, mi cara, mis brazos, mis piernas estaban totalmente inflamadas, no podia moverme. Jamás me quisieron ayudar a levantarme con tal de no tocarme para que no los contajiara. Suplique para que me limpieran cuando hacia del baño, y me dejaban toda sucia. Estuve 3 días desde el accidente sin que me bañaran. Estaba llena de tierra, llena de sopa de broccoli toda podrida. Suplique y suplique que me bañaran. Dios me envio un Angel que me ayudo a bañar. Tuve que llegar como pude desnuda a la cama desde el baño pq nadie me queria tocar. Mi dignidad y orgullo quedo por el piso. La comida la dejaban enfrente de la puerta del cuarto porque no querian entrar, yo no me podia mover ni a cojer la sabana, so hasta hambre me hicieron pasar. Suplique que viniera el doctor, suplique que me dieran informacion, suplique que una trabajadora social me explicara que tenia que hacer... NADIE NUNCA VINO. Al final suplique que me sacaran ya que el trato era horrible. 

  Ya en mi casa, me toco recuperarme como pude. Mientras mi mama cuidaba de Génesis, Charlotte me cuidaba a mi, me ayudaba a ir al baño y todo lo que necesitara. Roberto se encargo de sostenernos y cada que llegaba me bañada y atendia. La carga era muchisima, Asi que me he presionado por seguir funcionando aún con discapacidad. Segui trabajando en linea, limpiando mi casa, atendiendo mis hijas... No tienen idea de lo malo que es perder la habilidad de hacer las simples cosas de la vida, como poder buscar un vaso de agua, poder limpiarte cuando vas al baño, en fin cada detalle. Hasta el simple hecho de poder voltearme en la cama de posicion lo celebre, lo vi como algo tan grande. Sufri en silencio y sigo sufriendo en silencio dando buena cara. Sigo luchando para recuperarme, ya me puedo parar sola y hacer muchas cosas sola. Aun necesito ayuda para ponerme mi pantalon, zapatos, lavarme los pies, etc. Hay movientos que aún no recupero. Al momento estoy "coja", esperando con ansias que empiece mi terapia fisica para poder caminar sin ayuda, y poder cargar a mi hija. 

  Lamentablemente la persona que nos agredio, no tenia ningun tipo de seguro y mi seguro no quizo cumplir. Y ruego por ayuda para cubrir parte de mis gastos medicos para poder pagar mi rehabilitacion y poder volver hacer funcional como antes. Ha sido bien dificil estar en esta situacion y recuperarme sola como he podido. Nunca recibi visitas ni nada ya que tenia covid, so nadie pudo ayudarme en los peores momentos.

Hello, my name is Eunice Rivera. On October 11, 2020, we had a car accident while leaving work. Just leaving the light a pick-up that did not stop before the red light hit us. In the accident, me and my daughter were affected. My girl broke her tibia and her forehead, Thank God she's fine. On the other hand, I lost consciousness, I fractured my nose, I fractured my acetibular (it is the bone in the hip where the femur connects), and I also had a dislocation of the femur.
   While I was in the hospital I had the worst treatment I had ever witnessed. Before going in for an emergency operation, they tested me for Covid-19, and it came out positive. At that moment everyone disappeared. Then they informed me what they were going to do from the door with only their faces peeking out. I was screaming in pain. They took my mother out of the hospital and put me in a room alone, they covered me with sheets like a leper. They decided not to operate because according to the nurse I was going to infect the operation room, where we all know that the operation room has to be "sterilized" between each patient. Crying, I begged them to attend to me, which was discrimination, the answer was "it's what it is". After 24 hours was when they decide to enter me to the operating room. The doctor running told me: " I'm going to do this and that..." and he ran away, I never knew what he told me. I NEVER saw him again, not even after the operation, he didn't even come to verify my injury, he never explained to me what was going on, absolutely NOTHING.
    The next morning the nurses wanted me to get out of bed, my face, my arms, my legs were totally swollen, I couldn't move. They never wanted to help me get up because they didn't want to touch me, so I wouldn't infect them. I begged to be cleaned when I was in the bathroom, and they left me all dirty. I went 3 days since the accident without being bathed. I was full of dirt, full of rotten broccoli soup. I begged and begged to be bathed. God sent me an Angel to help me bathe. I had to get to bed naked as I could from the bathroom because nobody wanted to touch me. My dignity and pride was on the floor. The food was left in front of the door of the room because they did not want to enter, I could not move or grab the sheet, even hunger they made me go through. I begged the doctor to come, I begged for information, I begged a social worker to explain what I had to do after... NOBODY NEVER CAME. In the end I begged to be discharged since the treatment was horrible, and I was suffering. 

  Back at home, I had to recover as I could. While my mother took care of Genesis, Charlotte took care of me, helped me go to the bathroom and everything I needed. Roberto was in charge of supporting us and every time he came he bathed me and took care of me. It was a lot, so I have pushed myself to continue working even with disabilities. I kept working online, cleaning my house, taking care of my daughters ... I have no idea how bad it is to lose the ability to do the simple things in life, like being able to grab a glass of water, being able to clean yourself when you go to the bathroom, in short every detail. Even the simple fact of being able to turn over in bed  I had to celebrate it, I saw it as something so great. I suffered in silence and I continue to suffer in silence giving a good face. I am still struggling to recover, I can stand alone and do many things alone. I still need help putting on my pants, shoes, washing my feet, etc. There are movements that I have not recovered yet. At the moment I am "lame", anxiously waiting for my physical therapy to begin so that I can walk without help, and be able to carry my daughter.

  Unfortunately the person who hit us did not have any type of insurance and my insurance did not want to comply. And I beg for help to cover part of my medical expenses to be able to pay for my rehabilitation and to be able to function again as before. It has been very difficult to be in this situation and to recover alone as I could. I never received visitors or anything since I had covid, so no one could help me in the worst moments.
