Support for Elizabeth after serious car crash
Donation protected
Elizabeth was involved in a serious car crash on 9/11/20 when her car hydroplaned in the rain and ran off the road, and wrapped around a tree. While she sustained serious injuries, her 6 year old daughter Jennine who was in the car was unscathed (thank GOD). Both were wearing their seat belt. She is a smart little girl and got out of the car and waived down a passerby, who called 911 and stayed to comfort her until first responders arrived at the scene. Elizabeth was extracted from the vehicle and transported to the hospital on life support.
She fractured her pelvis in 5 places, broke her tailbone, 4 ribs, which collapsed her left lung and perforated her spline and caused serious internal bleeding. She also shattered her shoulder blade. She was rushed into surgery and her spline was removed, and her internal injuries were tended to and she received 4 pints of blood. She spent 6 days in intensive care, and was released from the hospital 3 days later and is now receiving home care. It is expected to be a long and painful recovery - she is wheelchair bound and due to her shoulder injury cannot propel herself nor can she get in or out of her wheelchair without assistance. She is not expected to be walking for up to 6 months without a walker.
We are asking for assistance so that all of her needs can be met, Jennine's activities can be covered and her bills can be paid while she recovers. There is a cost involved in all of the items needed for her care and it has proven to put a financial constraint on the household which is now not able to work full time due to her constant 24/7 care.
