Help Alana cover the costs of her assault
Donation protected
Our good friend Alana Wolff was brutally assaulted last year, on January 19th, 2019. She has been left with mounting medical and legal bills due to her horrible assault.
Alana sustained a sprained wrist, bruising on her face as well as multiple skull fractures and a severe TBI (traumatic brain injury). The fractures in her skull left a 4mm hole that exposed her brain which has caused her cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to leak into her body. This type of leak put Alana into the nuero ICU for 2 weeks. She had to have multiple surgeries to try to repair her leak.
One brain procedure was for the endoscopic endonasal repair of the left CSF leak and a pedicle vascular flap was put in to repair the 4mm dural exposure with a lumbar drain insertion. She also had a spinal procedure L3-L4 epidural blood patch for another spinal cerebral spinal fluid leak.
Her cognitive abilities have drastically declined from her injury. She is suffering from slurred speech, blurred vision and the inability to walk without support. Alana is unable to fully go back to work as she is having problems with her balance and speech. She is at high risk for exposure of Covid-19 as well as she works in the hospital. She works a few hours from home but is not able to completely work due to her injuries. The road to recovery is uncertain for her, if her spinal fluid continues to leak she will have to undergo another brain surgery that will leave her without her sense of taste and smell for the rest of her life.
We need all the help we can get to help Alana overcome such a horrible experience. Due to her symptoms and inability to work full time her normal day to day bills are piling up as well as medical bills. She is not able to accrue her full pay check at this point. She is constantly being referred to new physicians to figure out how to treat her TBI which adds to her medical expenses. She will more than likely have to hire a private attorney as well to hopefully get the full justice she deserves!
