Help Keri Heal: Medical costs, Living Costs, and Healing

On the night of October 10, 2024, Keri believes she was drugged with a roofie, also known as a date rape drug. Keri was lucky and fortunate to be able to get away from the stranger who did this to her.

On that evening, Keri got into her vehicle and left to come home. She had very little to drink and has absolutely no memory of the last 30 minutes before leaving the place she was at. Her next memory is pulling out of the driveway with complete distortion and confusion. Keri only lives two blocks away from the place she was at, yet she took a wrong turn to the right instead of turning left and drove for approximately one hour, completely dazed and confused, before being knocked unconscious and crashing straight into a light pole on the corner of an intersection, totaling the vehicle she was driving in Tucson, Arizona.

Keri was admitted to the hospital, where she was taken straight to the trauma unit. She had a positive seat belt sign across her lower abdomen with extensive bruising, hematomas across her entire lower abdomen, her left lateral chest showed bruising and pain, and a left 5th metacarpal fracture. Keri is now in a full hard cast and will follow up in another 3 weeks to determine if surgery will be needed.

Unfortunately, she has had to miss a lot of work since the accident and will continue to miss work due to follow-up appointments with doctors, orthopedics, and a tremendous amount of medical bills from the hospital visit, X-rays, and CT scans. Now, not being able to drive, Uber and Lyft costs are not cheap to and from these visits along with basic needs at the store. Keri will need help with food and medications.

Then, just yesterday, her doctor's office notified her with some bloodwork that came back unrelated to the accident. Keri has been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease along with hypothyroidism. Keri is now being referred to a cardiologist for heart monitoring.

This is an extremely difficult time for Keri and her 2 children, and we just ask for any help if possible to alleviate the financial burden that has entered into her life and help with medical costs, food, bills, and transportation. She cannot do this on her own.
