My mom was in a traumatic RAGBRAI bicycle accident

Donation protected
My mom wanted to ride with me on RAGBRAI this year. She was so excited to go, she was even to winterset before I even woke up.  We were riding from winterset to Indianola, on Tuesday July 23, just a short 38 miles. Mom was pushing those hills and determined to make it to the finish. She kept telling my all day that she was going to make it, that was her goal. We were about 8 miles from the finish, at about 1:45pm, when she hit a rough patch in the road and was in a traumatic bicycle accident.  
  I was right by her when she went down and was the first one to her side. Luckily we had medical personnel riding near us and they quickly called 911 and stabilized mom's neck. She was taken off to the hospital where she remains in critical condition. She suffered a brain bleed and a few broken ribs from the fall. She is very sleepy and hasn't fully woken up yet. 
   I'm setting up this go fund me page as mom will be unable to work for an unknown amount of time and we know that the hospital bills will be a burden that mom doesn't need to be worrying about as she is needing to focus on healing for us. If you would like to donate on here we would greatly appreciate any help you can offer.
