Uneka and Charod’s medical and home needs.

Donation protected
I’m Amina, Uneka and Charod’s sister. On 3/26/2024, Uneka and Charod were struck by a car while walking across 8 mile rd and Schaefer. They are both in the hospital now with serious injuries. Uneka suffered a large fracture to her neck and a spinal cord injury. As a result she is paralyzed from the waist down and unable to move her left arm right now. Charod also has a broken neck and broken pelvis but is still able to move but will still require surgery. They both have been living with me and when they come home they will need a lot of care, at this point it’s uncertain if Uneka will walk again but the doctor’s are saying it’s possible but will take time for her to heal.

Uneka is Charod’s caregiver. He has autism and is non verbal. If you live in Oak Park you’ve most likely seen them walking around the community. They love to walk and it’s sad that they will not be able to do what they love for a while. Uneka said she always walks on the outside of the side walk to protect Charod from traffic and unfortunately this is what happened because Uneka’s injuries are more severe than Charod’s. As of now, the caregiver needs more care.

Words can’t express the sadness and empathy I feel and I’m fighting my pride everyday, I am horrible about asking for help but this situation is beyond me. I will be taking care of them as they heal and I will not be able to work temporarily which will be stressful, they will also need a lot of equipment and my home will need to be modified. Uneka has always had my back and she is a kind person. She even wanted us to pray for the driver who hit her as they probably aren’t feeling good about hitting someone. I hate to see anyone with this kind of compassion suffering.

Fundraiser will go towards medical bills, utility bills, and everything insurance won’t cover. I appreciate you all and thank you for your support during this difficult time.
