Support Our Friend Heena Lim's Knee Surgeries

Hi Everyone, We are a group of friends setting up a fundraiser on behalf of our friend Heena Lim.

Please read her story and consider participation in supporting her through any means you may have. Every single contribution will greatly help her to schedule her surgeries on both of her knees to regain full mobility and be able to fully enjoy her life to the fullest. Please feel free to review the cost breakdown below. We are blessed to know you're already here to learn about her situation. Thank you from all of our hearts.

Hello, my name is Heena Lim, and I am grateful that you are taking the time to understand my story. My life changed on the night of February 1, 2024, when I was involved in a car accident during a rainy, midnight commute to my job as a Certified Nursing Assistant. When I regained consciousness, I found myself in the Emergency Room, with Siri having dialed 911 on my behalf. The MRI results were devastating—both of my anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) were torn, herniated 4 cervical and 3 lumbar discs, leaving me immobilized and confined to my bed.

Sadly, the coverage provided by the other party's insurance is insufficient to cover the costs of the surgery I urgently require. I do not have family members to help me and I am physically unable to work due to my injuries. I reduced my cost of living drastically so that I could cover my health bills and basic needs, but after months of searching for solutions, I realized it wasn’t enough and that I am in desperate need of assistance from our community.

All funds donated will be used to finance my surgeries, as well as any other injury related expenses (crutches, wheelchairs, prescriptions, etc.). Any donation amount is greatly appreciated, and if you are unable to contribute, I would treasure your effort in sharing my story with friends and family.

Thank you for considering my plea.
