Support Samantha in Her Journey to Recovery

***UPDATE:

It feels right that we collectively reached this huge fundraising goal just as we have some huge news about Sammy’s journey.

After spending 25 days in the ICU/hospital and 95 days at a suburban rehab facility, Samantha was moved and welcomed into a state-of-the-art rehab facility in Chicago to start the weight bearing portion of her recovery (learning to stand, walk, etc). It has been a rollercoaster of excruciating pain and many unexpected complications arising over the last 5 months and there is still a very long, hard road ahead in her recovery, but this new location ensures she will get the absolute best care available and will give her a clearer idea of next steps.

She continues to show incredible strength, both mentally and physically, and is so determined to get moving and heal! She is so immensely grateful for all of your donations, kind words, and prayers since the accident. We all cannot thank you enough for how transformative your support has been and will continue to be for Sammy on this journey.

Let's continue to show our support and love to our dear Sammy!

Sammy has been officially discharged from the hospital and is in her first rehab center in a suburb of Chicago. She was transferred via ambulance as she is still re-learning how to sit. We are deeply grateful for your generous donations to help Samantha as she recovers from her traumatic accident. Your contributions are making a significant difference in covering her medical expenses. Samantha still has a long journey of rehabilitation ahead, and every bit of support counts. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

Additionally, we kindly ask you to share this fundraiser on your social media to help spread the word and reach more potential donors. Together, we can provide Samantha with the support she needs on her road to recovery.

THANK YOU!!!!!

My dear friend Samantha was biking to play volleyball with friends when a parked car opened its door without looking, knocking her into traffic. Thankfully she survived, but her pelvis was crushed when she was run over by a box truck. She has had to undergo two major reconstructive surgeries and faces a long road of PT, while remaining in a ton of pain. Along with mounting medical expenses, her mom plans to care for her in her home for several months after she is discharged which will require specialized equipment. Providing funds to help cover the costs of Samantha’s medical care and equipment is one crucial, tangible way we, her friends and family, can support her recovery. Whether or not you are able to donate, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
