Bella Medical and Recovery

Hi, my name is Nicole. This is a picture of my nephew Austin Hanson, and his beautiful fiancee, Bella Hatch. On Monday evening, July 12th, Bella was on her way home from work, when she was struck by another vehicle. Bella was on her moped and was two blocks from home. Bella's injuries are life-threatening. She has multiple skull fractures, has undergone one surgery for a bleed on her brain, has many other brain bleeds, has a punctured lung and the rest is yet to be figured out. Bella was life-flighted to Sioux Falls, from Watertown and is currently at Sanford Health. She is currently intubated  and in a medically induced coma. The next 48 hours are very crucial.

Bella and Austin were currently getting ready to be married. Their wedding is scheduled for Saturday, September 4th- about 8 weeks away. Now, on top of paying for a wedding, they will be missing work and will also be trying to figure out how to pay for any medical bills not covered by insurance, as well as any therapy that may be needed. If you find it in your heart to say a prayer for them, that will be greatly appreciated. If you can help financially, I know they will be very appreciative of that as well.

I will add updates as I receive them, so please check back here.
