Samariah Perkins and Family
Donation protected
It's a situation that most people fear, and for one of our dear friends/family members it became a reality. On December 3, 2016 Nakia got a phone call at work asking if her 9 year old daughter could have a sleepover at her best friends house. With some hesitation, Nakia said yes, but the family would have to pick her daughter up, as her car was in the shop. All was well.
Fast forward to Nakia getting off work, getting home, exhausted after a long shift at a car dealership, understandbly tired, Nakia left her phone in her friends car.
Shortly after, a knock on the door, and it was a neighbor, who said the hospital was on the phone and needed to talk to her about Samariah.
Around 9:30 pm on December 3, The family Samariah was in, was involved in a tragic car accident, Samariah was in critical condition, after stabilizing her enough for a mercy flight, Nakia and Samariah headed to Tampa hospital for treatment, where Samariah is in icu by mercy flight in Tampa.. she has a laceration in her liver, her spleen was hurt and her lung is bruised, she's was in critical condition.
This is the post that Nakia made on facebook, she is a very private person, but knowing that Samariah had a rough road, she reached out "She's been in a bad accident on Saturday night, she was having a sleepover at her best friends for the weekend, they were in a serious crash after coming home from going out to dinner and they were hit t-bone style her friend didn't make it and Samariah is in icu by mercy flight in Tampa.. she has a laceration in her liver, her spleen was hurt and her lung is bruised, she's critical and these next few days we need all of the prayers we can get please pray for my little girl"
Unfortunately, as you can see, Samariah's best friend who was also in the accident, did not make it.
Nakia and Samariah's father both work, but both have not been able to leave their daughters side. Neither of them have been at their jobs long enough to have paid time off, and while their jobs have been understanding, they need an income to help pay bills.
There are 3 other children at home, We would like to raise enough for Nakia and Jamie, so that way when Samariah does come home from the hospital, they can focus on her recovery (We are looking at another week or so in the hospital, and 3 months recovery at home as long as all goes well).
Things this money would be used for;
Traveling costs to and from appointments, they are currently 2 1/2 hours away from their home.
Food while at the hospital still
Food for their house for the other kids
Bills
Helping to give all of the kids a good Christmas.
This family is the type who would give you the shirt off of their back, if you needed it. Please help if you can. This is a little way we can help them, help our sister, brother, niece, nephews, etc. If you can, please help.
Attached are some news links regarding the accident, please do not leave negative comments.
