Ajla's Medical Fund
Donation protected
On March 16th, 2018 Ajla Becirbasic was in a terrible motorcycle accident. She was heading to Daytona Beach for Bike Week with her father and boyfriend. They were on I-4 in the left-most lane. There was a lot of traffic and road construction. Traffic was slowing down and picking back up. The details of the accident are still unclear. She was riding behind her boyfriend and in front of her dad. A white SUV came in between her and her boyfriend and started to go back into the middle lane. We don’t know if Ajla tried to avoid contact with the SUV and pulled to the middle lane or if the SUV braked and swerved back into the middle lane but the SUV beat her to the middle lane. Her front tire made contact with the back driver’s side of the SUV. She was flung from her bike towards oncoming traffic. She bounced multiple times and slide the rest of the way across the interstate.
Most of her injuries are on her left side. Her skull is fractured in multiple places, her nose is broken, her left clavicle is fracture, and her left ankle is broken. She went into surgery on Friday night. The surgeon was able to successful relieve the pressure off her brain and stop the bleeding. She responded very well to surgery. A few days later she was able to respond to basic commands. (thumbs up, hold up two fingers, lift your leg, etc.) The left side of her body is not as responsive as the right. Her left arm has not moved at all and her left leg has had very small movement. We still do not know the extent of the damage to the brain. We have to wait for her to be coherent before that can be determined. She has breathed on her own for very small periods of time but she is still depending on the respirator and other machines. She is still sedated but her doctors are hoping to take her off sedatives soon.
Ajla is a beautiful person inside and out. She is an intelligent, kind, and selfless individual. She was raised in Tampa, FL. She attended the Florida State University and got her B.S. in Biology and continued her education at the University of South Florida. She was due to graduate on May 6th, 2018 with a master’s degree in Neuro Science. The next step was medical school to become a Neurologist. She has an interest in doing research about Alzheimer’s Disease. She loves animals (especially wolves) and spent a lot of time volunteering at animal shelters. She has always put her family and friends before herself. And now she needs us the most. This account is to help her family with the medical costs and to help Ajla after this is over. Anything you can give will help as well as sharing her story. Her mother Snezana Becirbasic will be receving all of your donations.
