Campagnolo Family Car Accident

Donation protected

Hello, my name is Brandon Hoover and I am fundraising for my sister and two young nephews.

On Tuesday evening, Brittany Campagnolo, was in the car with her two sons when a drunk driver in a stolen SUV crashed into her in Guelph, Ontario.

Brittney and her two sons were taken to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a severe concussion and now spends her time sitting in a dark room. Due to her accident she is currently unable to work as an ICU nurse at SickKids.

The insurance company isn't doing enough to help, so please help any way you can. Thank you very much for your generosity.





Below is a poem she wrote about the accident:

To the man who stole from my family
Without ever meeting us
Even the smallest things
Are now painful and strenuous

You stole my son’s dreams
Replaced them with nightmares
You made the decision to drive high
Without even a care

You stole my sense of safety
Replaced it with horrible flashbacks
I see a flash of a black loud bang
And then the car is spinning after impact

I remember looking back 
To see if my kids were still alive 
They are screaming in terror
Thank god we have survivedn

An angel must have been watching
We should have died that day
I’ll never forget 
June 1, the day my life changed

People say we are lucky
I suppose you could say that
Or maybe it shouldn’t have happened at all
I wish we could chat

I’d tell you that you’ve left me laying in a dark room
Unable to look at the light
Why does my family deserve this
Nothing about this is right

I won’t be able to work
I’m a nurse in the ICU
I can barely turn in my own bed 
A 12-hour shift I won’t be able to do

You took my income
I’m a single mom
How will I pay my bills
Where did you go wrong?

My future will be full of physio and therapy
Instead of spending time with my children
Can I ask you a question?
Aren’t you tired of being the villain?

I missed my son turning 6
Because I couldn’t get out of bed
I could fill an ocean
From all the tears that were shed

I wish I felt sorry for you
But I just can’t bring myself to do so
The anger rises again
Every time I look at the crushed car photo

We were just heading home from the park
Singing along to the Minions carefree
When you decided you had the right
To go on a crime spree 

I will never feel safe 
Getting in another car
You stole that from me
And I hope you are tucked away behind bars

You are lucky 
You don’t have dead bodies on your conscience 
I hope you pay for what you’ve done
But now you have some options

Turn your damn life around
You have a lot of life left to live
Make amends to all the people you’ve wronged 
And maybe one day we will forgive
