Amber's Medical Fund
Donation protected
On Tuesday May 26th a tornado came out of nowhere and hit a parking lot in the Beavercreek area. In under 30 seconds, the small tornado flipped cars like they were matchbox toys. In one of those cars was Amber Jones.
Having just parked and getting ready to head in to a restaurant, Amber took off her seat belt. A few minutes later the tornado sucked her vehicle into the funnel and tossed it aside a few hundred feet from where she had parked while she was flipped around inside. Using an immense amount of strength and adrenalin, Amber was able to pull herself out and get to a restaurant for safety, but the damage to her body was severe.
Amber fractured both her neck and upper back [C6, T3, T4, and T5] and because of these fractures she will need to be in a neck and back brace for 12 weeks - not a fun place to be for an active and hard-working girl. After the neck brace comes off, she will have to begin the journey of physical therapy. She is currently on 12 weeks of disability. Medical expenses are already starting to rack up [She is required to pay 100% of her premium benefits just to keep insurance for her and her husband].
We are asking for you to prayerfully consider helping to relieve some of the financial stress that Amber and her family are dealing with through this tough time.
