The Strevig Family

Hi, my name is Josh and I'm fundraising for my family's best friends. They are Brittany, Paisley, Shawn, and Ella.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, March 20th, Brittany was bringing her six year old daughter Paisley home from school. A driver crossed the median, striking Brittany's vehicle head on. Nurses in traffic behind them rushed to their help, paramedics were quickly on scene, but Brittany had to be flown to Shock Trauma, and Paisley had to be flown to John Hopkins after being transported to Carroll Hospital.

Brittany has been in an extreme amount of pain. She's needed surgery on her intestine. She has a hematoma in her stomach that's led to several blood transfusions and blood clots in her neck. She's been X-Ray'd, MRI'd, and CT scanned for everything you can imagine and will likely need back surgery to fix fractured bones in her vertebrae. Additionally, she's waiting on results from MRI scans on her head, neck, and spine.

Paisley has been in critical condition and on a ventilator. She's suffered a brain bleed, brain swelling, and numerous seizures. Her doctor's are waiting for the swelling to recede and the seizures to calm so that they can make an accurate assessment of what's going on with her little brain.

There are a lot of unknowns but I know that these are the kindest, most loving people we know. Brittany is my wife's best friend and Paisley is my son's best friend. They have stood by our side and been our shoulder when we needed them and they would do it a million times over. I'm asking all of you to please be a shoulder for them as they go through this nightmare. They are about to face a mountain of hospital bills without being able to work and no idea of what lies ahead. Even if you don't have any money you can contribute, please take the time to think of this family. Pray for them. Love on them. If you can give, even just a dollar, please do. Please share this story with your family, friends, church, or any other avenue that can benefit them. They need and deserve every bit of help they can get.
