Catherine Kniley's Femur Fund

Donation protected

Hello all,
First off, thank you for visiting my fundme site.  As most of you know my name is Catherine Kniley and I recently had an accident skydiving down in Mexico.  As result of the accident I broke my right femur and my left sacrum.  While my leg is broken and the pain the last week fairly intense, I am fortunate for the prompt care I received when it happened.  Everything looks good for a full recovery but I have a long road ahead to heal.  

The icing on the cake for this whole ordeal is that I am not insured for the accident and will have to stay in Mexico to recover.  I have racked up medical bills that, while reasonable for what happened, are well beyond my means.  This whole money part makes me extremely uncomfortable but I need to clear these debts in order to repay the people that have been able to put me back together as well get myself home to get the continued care towards rehabilitating  my body.

I'm not sure words are enough to express thanks to anyone who donates and has taken the time to think about me.  The last week has been a lot of down physically and emotionally but I am looking to make my first steps on crutches in the coming day.  Reaching the goal by 1/19 ensures I can cover my medical expenses here and  get back home as quickly as the doctors will allow.

Take care everyone and, again, thank you for your support.

With love,
Catherine
