Help Natalie and Her Family Heal After Tragic Accident

This fundraiser is for the Wipp family. Their daughter Natalie was in a horrific car accident on the morning of Oct 17th, 2024, resulting in the loss of one of her dearest friends and injuring her and two other dear friends.

Natalie is currently on Oahu in trauma care; badly hurt and has a long recovery ahead of her physically and emotionally.

Her mom says,

“We are deeply, deeply moved by all the love, prayers, and support from our family and friends and our small community. Please continue to pray for her and her friends’ strength…whatever you’ve got, we’ll take it! Thank you all so much for loving her…”

This is absolutely heartbreaking for the whole community! Let’s provide them help and support at this tragic time!

“Natalie is still in a lot of pain and discomfort.

Her left eye is extremely swollen still- have to wait for that to go down before surgery which is scheduled for Nov 8th.

She is very sensitive to light so we’ve been sitting in the dark the last couple days. She will require a walker for getting around for a while since her balance and strength is compromised.

Her room is filled with beautiful flowers and all the nurses LOVE her.

Thank you all so much for the support and love. I need a bigger word for how I feel

Mahalo!”

Natalie’s pink bone is broken as well as her nose bone on both sides...(that’s doctor talk). Her nose looks the same, just shifted right a little bit.

Her eyeball looks ok, it’s just that the bottom muscle of it is now lower due to the collapse… once the net to secure, and the muscle back in place…and therapy, she should be good as new.

They can do this surgery and nose job with no scars..so, hopefully no scars on her face.

Her teeth feel wiggly to her-but they’re not( we checked). Solid foods are difficult still mostly because half of her face is numb.

We hang onto each other through the storm.

“Our beautiful girl is doing well at home

Yesterday, she was able to open her eye naturally when she was talking..

It looks creepy.. all blood shot and her brown eye look kinda orange against the red.. like a werewolf.

It was a hard/happy day yesterday.. we got out to a happy birthday party and a hard reunion at Parker School with the other families..

It’s a beautiful tribute to Jessica, as Natalie said, “she would’ve loved this..”

Both Tom and I are at home with her still and everyone has been such a help.. thank you for the continued support… it has been more than I could have imagined..and your love has meant the world to me❤️‍”
