Support Tonya and Her Beautiful Girls

My name is Michelle Hellbusch. One of my daughters, Tonya Meier, was recently in a tragic car accident, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Tonya came to live with us and joined our family in 2002. Her father is Rick (Guppie) Meier. The accident occurred on January 11, 2014. Tonya hit black ice and slid off the road. Her vehicle rolled several times before stopping. She was transported to the Saint Francis Medical Center before being life flighted to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha (Clarkson) with a fractured back, fractured hips and a severe spinal cord injury. She has been transported to Madonna Rehabilitation Center in Lincoln, NE in hopes of regaining some function to her lower extemities and to learn to live as independently as possible.
In the mean time we are all pitching in to provide some kind of normalcy for her 2 daughters, Kaylynn age 6 and Jordynn 6 months old. Tonya is a single mother who is not expected to be back with her daughters until April 1, 2014. The family of Tonya Meier are over-welmed with gratitude to all of the support and prayers, may they continue, ANY kind of support helps.
