Help Kelly Stuttgen family

Donation protected
On Thursday September 1st 2016 Kelly was driving home from dropping her kids off at school when a fully loaded logging truck ran into her at 55mph. Many of you from the area probably seen the story on the news for a few days in a row as it was the really bad accident on Hwy 97, coming out of Marshfield. Kelly sustained a concussion and 13 staples in her head. Kelly's 4 year old daughter Emma was critically injured with a skull fracture and was taken into emergency surgery to have a craniotomy. For many days we were unsure if Emma would make it as they struggled to get her intracranial pressure down. Once her intracranial pressure was under control she developed a blood infection and again we didn't know if Emma would be okay.  Emma is now on the road to recovery but is still hospitalized where she may be for some time yet. Emma sustained permanent damage to her brain and now has to go through many different forms of therapy to re-learn how to speak and do everything that she could do before the accident. As of today, Emma has been in the hospital for 20 days and we don't know how much longer she will remain hospitalized. When Emma is able to leave the hospital she will have to undergo endless amounts of therapy and appointments to help her regain back what she has lost. I am asking anyone to please help and consider donating to this family. They have many extra expenses adding up on top of loss of work due to Emma needing them to be there. Kelly is in her last semester of nursing school and is trying as hard as she can to finish considering the circumstances but is unable to work due to school and needing to spend most of her time with Emma. Kelly also has 4 other children and 1 step-child. This whole situation has been very traumatic for Kelly, her fiancee Danny, their other 5 children, and their family. Any amount donated would be greatly appreciated to help this family get through this tough time. They have a lot on their plates and it would be nice if their financial stress could be relieved some. This money will go toward helping them pay bills, gas, and any extra costs related to this accident. Thank you to everyone who takes time to read this and helps this beautiful family!!
