Assist Amanda's Long Road to Recovery
Donation protected
I normally don’t ask for help, as people may know. Me and Amanda Simacek got into a wreck on the motorcycle last Thursday. We were taken to the hospital, and Amanda has 8 fractured vertebrae, 3 broken ribs, a broken foot, and a laceration on the back of her head. I received a fractured jaw, bruised ribs, sprained knee and ankle, and all the internal bruising.
This is gonna be a long road for me and Amanda financially. She was my big help on my construction jobs; we couldn’t afford help, so we’ve been working them ourselves. She is supposed to be coming home Thursday or Friday, and she will be in a wheelchair for no less than 12 weeks. then she have to use a walker for a undetermined time I am trying to prepare our apartment for her arrival. We have no insurance, so everything will be out of pocket. We are in need of a wheelchair, bathtub chair, etc. I need to make her as comfortable as can be. Any wrong movement, she can break her vertebrae fully, which will damage her spine.
I have to try to push myself to work, but at the same time, she can't be alone because of her needs. My body hurts, but I’m pushing myself to do what I can to make it through this financially and mentally. I’m at a loss right now and don’t know where to turn. Amanda is the rock I usually turn to, and at the moment, I can’t, so I’m reaching out to you guys. Any donations will help; if not, it’s okay. A phone call to one of us asking if we are okay will do just as fine. For those of you who can donate, thank you from the both of us; it’s dearly appreciated.
