Hannah's a Badass! But...
On September 10, 2015 at approximately 6:30 PM, our lovely Hannah Davison was struck by a vehicle while riding her bike. It was a hit-and-run, with the perpetrator abandoning the car some blocks away and fleeing on foot. It was a serious accident whereas the windshield was caved by Hannah's face and left arm. She has survived with multiple lacerations to her face and upper body, 6 fractures to her eye-socket, 2 severed arteries in her face, a break in her nose, 3 fractures in her shoulder blade and a crack in her vertebrae. Amazingly there was no damage to her brain, no concussion and no spinal damage. As one might imagine, this recovery will take some time with additional plastic surgeries ahead as well and Hannah isn't allowed to return to work until her vision is cleared by the doctors.
Hannah is a bartender and restaurant server who will be out of work for at least 3 months and, while her amazing partner, Ryan, is employed and there for her, she's going to need living expenses covered for a short time. This campaign was to cover those living costs but Hannah did just receive her first hospital bill (and really, those docs did an amazing job) for $65,000 so this goal seeks to cover some of those expenses (that insurance may not) as well. Any funding beyond her need will be donated to a local bicycle safety advocacy group.
Despite her discomfort and limited mobility, Hannah is in great spirits, still as beautiful as ever and a true example of strength!
Thank you for considering a gift of any size to help Hannah... She's also taking donations of video games, craft projects and soup!
