Elliott's Road to Wellness

Donation protected
2 weeks before our wedding, Elliott was involved in a life-changing motorcycle accident. He suffered a broken left shoulder & humerus, fractured sacrum (which resulted in a fusion of L4 & L5 with titanium rods fixed to his pelvis), fractured right pelvis, left leg below knee amputation, 8 blood transfusions, 2 plasma transfusions and severe PTSD.

As a result of the injuries...
- Elliott will transfer to a skilled nursing facility (for up to 10 weeks) to begin physical therapy while his pelvis heals. Once the fractured pelvis  learn how walk again with his new prosthetic limb
- I must move us out of our rent controlled apartment, since Elliott cannot use stairs for months after PT. 
- Our lives are all about spiritual, nutritional and physical healing. 110% our energies are going into healing. 

We need your help with... 
- Medical bills 
- Moving expenses 
- The nature of the injuries will prevent Elliott from working in the near term
- I am on LOA from work to handle the array of follow ups, paperwork and logistics for our move. 
- Plus the things that I have no idea that we need. I'm sure there will be a lot. 

What we've learned through all of this...
1. Life is precious and can change in an instant.
2. Community is everything. People will show up for you in ways you can't imagine.
3. Ask for help. It's so important to allow people to show up for you.
4. Attitude is everything.
5. Be present.

Please help us get back to our much enjoyed walks together.
