Help Fiona regain her independence
Donation protected
Fiona was always a vibrant and independent woman, a nurse and mother to two energetic boys.
In March this year Fiona was in a horrible car accident. She was trapped for 10 hrs with a broken neck before being air lifted to Royal North Shore hospital where she spent a week in intensive care.
At this point she only has movement in her upper body and wrists but not her fingers. She is currently at the rehabilitation center, learning to sit again, use special tools to eat and a stylus to use social media.
They are doing exercises to strengthen her upper body so she can cope with everyday tasks from her wheelchair, including driving a modified car.
She currently has no home to go back to as she gave up her rental property and her two boys are staying with her brother and family.
The Need
The insurance is covering her medical expenses and modifications to her home and car but they are not covering the acquisition of the vehicle itself.
The vehicle requirements are an all wheel drive van, no more than 3 years old. This will be fitted with a ramp and hand controls so Fiona can reclaim as much of her independence as possible. This will cost $50,000
Fiona will be completing her rehabilitation this month so it is somewhat urgent that we raise the funds for the van.
Moving forward, while she will not be able to walk again Fiona has come to terms with that and is grateful to be alive. She has a strong faith in God's purpose for her and is able to accept that she will not walk again but her great desire is to again be able to care for herself and her boys.
If you are able, please give generously to help Fiona reach that goal.
Full Disclosure Required by Gofundme: I am Fiona's niece, Sarah Farrugia from Bundaberg Qld and the all donations will be deposited directly into Fiona's Bank account.
