Honoring Monica McCoy: A Beautiful Send-Off
Donation protected
In loving memory of Monica McCoy, we are coming together to raise funds for a beautiful send-off in her honor. Please donate whatever you can ❤️
Monica McCoy was attempting to cross West Springfield Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 2, 2020, when a woman who’d recently left a west Champaign bar hit McCoy with her car.
The impact cracked the vehicle’s windshield and sent McCoy “flying” into the air, one witness told police. After landing on her stomach, she was transported to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana and treated for a severed spinal cord, a fractured shoulder, bleeding in her brain and a collapsed lung.
More than three years later, McCoy, 39, remains paralyzed and in pain. She struggled to speak, suffered from panic attacks.
