Emergency Fund for Nurse Ebony
Donation protected
Ebony Taste LPN's life changed on October 19th. She left home to help a friend and never returned. Someone made an illegal left turn in front of her that changed her life in the blink of an eye. Ebony was T-Boned.
Ebony suffered multiple injuries that include head trauma (loss of consciousness, altered cognition, sutures, head dent, rehab), spine fracture (PARS L4, L5), and broken ankle/toes. Ouch! She was initially hospitalized at Miami Valley Hospital for a week and is now going through inpatient rehab at The Rehab Institute of Ohio. Once she is discharged from rehab, she will need more outpatient rehab and home healthcare. She speaks fondly of of her caretakers and is receiving great care. She is making great progress and her father comes to see her every day.
Ebony is my coworker. We are nurses. I am always grateful when we work together. She's a hard worker and we never have to worry about the medication room when she's with us. We are both fairly new in our positions. She was a week shy of her one year probationary period when the accident happened. October 27th would have been her 1 year anniversary at our job. She has already used up all of her sick and vacation time due to the accident. The other driver was sited at the accident where Ebony was knocked unconscious. The other driver, who was at fault, was uninsured. Ebony carries her own health insurance through work and her car was insured. Some of her medical expenses will be out of pocket because health insurance does not cover everything. She will need a wheelchair, walker, shower chair and other assistive equipment. The main purpose of this fundraiser is to help with Ebony's loss of income.
Ebony has worked hard for everything she has. This wonderful human being has been an LPN, caring for others for 14 yrs. Ebony has taken care of those with special needs in group home settings. She has taken care of children, both inpatient and outpatient. She's wonderful with the elderly from her experience in long term care settings. More recently her focus has been mental health, outpatient and now inpatient with us!
Ebony has even completed her schooling to become an RN. She just needs to take her boards. My personal opinion is she should be an RN already. She's smart, hard-working and intuitive.
Ebony is fiercely independent. Typically she doesn't need anything from anyone. She does not like feeling like a burden on others, but extends her own helping hand with no problem. She would never ask for help even if she is at the end of her rope. That's why I'm stepping in.
Sometimes life throws it's strongest participants a curveball. This unfortunate event is a setback for Ebony because she will be out of work for awhile (length unknown), which means no income. She has already used up her sick leave that she accumulated due to this accident. Please help our friend. She will appreciate it even though she would never ask for it. Her coworkers want her to be back at work.
Ebony wants to be back at work too!
