Medical Expense fund for Julie Henning
Donation protected
While vacationing in Florida, Julie Henning was involved in a horrific bicycling accident the morning of May 23, 2020. She was riding in a designated bike lane wearing her helmet when a city garbage truck struck her. She sustained a closed head injury, a punctured lung, compound fractures of her tibia and fibula of the lower right leg with soft tissue damage, fractures to her pelvis, 8 broken ribs on the left side, 2 fractured vertebrae, as well as a perforated spleen. She remains in Bay Front Health Hospital in St. Petersburg, FL. She has gone from the ER to ICU, to the Trauma unit, and is now in their Rehabilitation unit. During this time, she has not been able to have any visitors due to Covid-19.
Because of the fractures in her pelvis and leg, Julie is unable to put any weight on either leg, so she is, and will be, wheelchair bound for at least three (3) months. Thankfully, every day that goes by, Julie's family sees improvement. However, Julie will need months of rehab when she is able to put weight on her legs again. As you can well imagine, Julie’s medical costs will be exorbitant and her family needs your help.
Julie is married and has two (step) sons, 23 and 25, that she has raised and is very proud of.
Julie has focused her career on fish and wildlife conservation. She works for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Washington D.C. as their lead for national conservation planning and policy for the National Wildlife Refuge System. She has lived in D.C. for 4 1/2 years, but travels across the United States to learn and understand the variety of issues that she can represent in the nation's capital.
She enjoys being outside fishing and hunting and seeing wildlife in their native habitats. That is what attracted her to travel to Florida to vacation. She was in Florida to pursue her love for kayaking, fishing, cycling and, of course, obtain some beach time.
It's an extremely trying time for us all, but we need to remember - we are still in this together. For some of us, many years may have passed since we last met or spoke (Auburn High School Class of '94, I'm talking to you), but we cannot forget that when one of us is in need, WE respond. We all have families, stories, and experiences which have taken us into our current lives, (beyond high school), but let us not forget our happy days , when we supported and cared for one another. On behalf of Julie Henning and her family, we ask that you continue to support her in her need and help in her recovery. We ask that you donate generously.
