30 feet 1 second

On Saturday night, April 26, my life changed in an instant. I was involved in a devastating accident that sent me flying 30 feet into the air. Since that day, I haven’t been able to walk. The injuries I sustained are extensive and life-altering.

Injuries & Medical Conditions I’m Facing:
• Traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness
• Injury to a major neck artery with a 7mm pseudoaneurysm
• Bleeding in multiple areas of my brain
• Broken left arm (both bones – ulna and radius)
• Separated pelvis (pubic bone) with internal bleeding
• Fractured knee and leg bones on the right side
• Nerve damage and weakness in my right leg
• Urethral injury (bladder trauma)
• Spine fractures in the lower back (L2 to L4)
• Pneumonitis (inflammation in the lungs)
• Muscle damage (elevated CPK levels)
• Blood loss causing anemia
• High levels of acid in the blood (lactic acidosis)
• Severe pain
• Ongoing anxiety due to the trauma

Every day has been a battle—physically, emotionally, and financially. I’ve undergone multiple surgeries, spent countless days in the hospital, and face months more of rehabilitation ahead. Even the simplest tasks are now a challenge. I’m reaching out because I need help. Medical bills, ongoing treatments, equipment, and transportation to appointments are overwhelming. I want to heal. I want to walk again. I want my life back.

If you can donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world to me. And if you can’t give, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, for caring, and for being part of my journey to recovery.

With gratitude,
JJ
