<div>Five years ago, my life changed in an instant. I was in a car accident that left me paralyzed from the chest down. I broke my neck at C4 and C5, fractured my back, suffered internal bleeding, and had a traumatic head injury that required 56 staples and over 200 stitches.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, I’ve worked hard through rehab, school, and more setbacks than I can count. Despite ongoing health challenges, I’ve kept going. I’m currently living at home and still rely on others to get to and from rehab and appointments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But recently, I reached a major milestone: I earned my adaptive driver’s license.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I’m raising funds to buy an adapted vehicle I can drive myself. This would be truly life-changing. Having my own vehicle would mean:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>I could finally attend a four-year college in person.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>I’d have access to more job opportunities.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>I could get myself to rehab, therapy, the gym, and social events, without needing someone else to drive me.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>And most importantly, I could begin living life more independently.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings me closer to that freedom. Thank you for reading, and thank you for supporting me in taking this next step!
</div>
<div><br />
