Road to Recovery After Amputation for Toby Arman

First of all I (Miranda-Toby’s Daughter)want to express my gratitude for all the calls, texts, visits, prayers and shows of support for my mom. She has felt so loved. It’s that love that she has leaned on when she couldn’t find her own strength. Thank you for helping My Momma.

On Sept 30, 2019 my mom was headed home from her job as a school nurse when she was hit head on at a high rate of speed by a car whose driver had overdosed. To this day, my momma cries over the pain that the drivers family has had to go through and prays for peace to be restored to the drivers’ mommas’ heart.

3.5 years later my mom is still fighting for a normal life. The injuries she sustained are not common to most people. They are typically only found in the small print when “Blunt Force Trauma” is listed as Cause of Death. The impact of the other car against hers tore my moms lower leg off right above the ankle, causing bones to explode throughout the rest of her leg. As a lot of you know, she fought to get out of that car and fought to get help for the other driver. The memories or visions if you will of that day, have haunted her every day since.

After 3.5 years of trying to salvage what was left of her leg she has had to give up the fight to save her leg and has begin the fight to save her life.

My Mommas tough. She made it through the emotions, the panic, the strength it took to lie down and get wheeled into the operating room knowing what they were going to do. She went through the waking up with a piece of her literally being gone. While she is facing the reality that her leg is gone, her concern is helping us to face it. She is putting in every bit of the work and all of the time that is expected for her to be able to walk again, with a prosthesis. Unfortunately she cannot do this and work. It is one or the other. Its the difference between hopping on one leg with a walker for the rest of her life or asking for help on her road to mobility with a prosthesis.

Within seconds of meeting my mom, you know her heart. Wether years have gone by or you’re just meeting her, the love coming from my mommas big ole heart is something you’ll never forget.

This Go Fund me has been setup to to assist with the out of pocket costs that come with getting a prosthesis as well as the costs of living. She is already worrying and saying she has to get back to work. Please help me help my mom to heal correctly and completely and to walk again. Even the smallest donation would help but if you just can't please share this in hopes that it will reach somebody that can. Please everyone share this.
