Help a Mom of 3 kiddos in Need

Hi there,

My name is Melissa and I’ve set up this gofundme for my sister Michelle who broke her hip in a motorcycle accident on June 22, 2022.  She also broke rib and has a bad concussion.  We are so thankful that she is ok but she has a long road to healing, and on top of it has to somehow support her 3 kids under 5 years old (youngest is 9months old) while being unable to work for at LEAST 3 months (could be 4 or 5 months), being non-weight bearing (in a wheelchair!), no driving, and dealing with the pain and stress of going through this. She is in Kamloops and I’m in Vancouver and there’s only so much I can do from over here so this is my call for help.

I know times are not easy for anyone right now, but hoping if you’re able to contribute anything to help support food, diapers, formula, rent, and other payments to keep this mama and her kids floating while she can’t work, we’d be forever grateful. I’m hoping we’re able to raise enough to hire at least a part time nanny (of course full time would be a miracle) to help out with the kids because I can’t imagine trying to care for the 3 of them alone through all of this, it’s too much for one person to handle.  We grew up in foster care so we don’t have ‘family money’ and things like that to lean on during this challenging time.

My sis is a medical lab assistant and has worked hard in the hospital through COVID-19 and yes will be applying for medical EI but it barely covers her rent.  She is not someone who expects anything from anyone and is always helping everyone else out, I’m hoping we can return the favour a bit to support her through this! 

Thank you so much for listening and we understand if you’re unable to contribute monetarily, please send positive thoughts and healing energy her way!

Warmly,

Melissa
