Mary Jo's Recovery

My mom, Mary Jo Villafania, was struck head-on on Route 140 Tuesday evening coming home from work. She was taken to Shock Trauma where they have been taking very good care of her. Unfortunately, she sustained multiple injuries from the neck down, including a broken collarbone, ribs, pelvis and all of her limbs. She is having an extensive surgery today on her right leg/ankle/foot and arm. We are thankful that she survived and has been in stable condition thus far, but the road to recovery will definitely be a hard and lengthy one. Many have asked how they can help so I put together the meal train link for anyone wishing to provide food and this gofundme for anyone wishing to donate financially. All of this will go towards medical bills, rehabilitation and anything else my mom needs. My mom works full-time and is the primary caregiver for my grandmother with dementia as well (who lives with my mom and dad). My dad is in a rigorous masters/PhD program and also works part-time. My family and and I are pulling together to help support my mom as she goes through surgery and recovery, and any assistance you can provide is deeply appreciated.

My mom is the first person to bring a meal, send a word of encouragement, and jump in when anyone is in need. I'm hoping we can show her how much she means to all of us - her friends, family, church family, gym family and beyond.
