Elizabeth Terlep

I’m sure you all remember our friend Beth      who was involved in a head on collision by a   driver who crossed the double yellow line.       She’s come very far in her recovery having      suffered almost every bone on her right side        being broken the open femur fractures, hip, ribs, heart, and spleen. The list just goes on and on,  but mainly it was the open arm where she        lost most of her humerus and her elbow.  She was very lucky to even keep the arm as it was hanging on by so very little. She was sent to  California to get a total elbow which would    be covered with a back muscle flap but due to an infection it had to be put on hold now she awaits her surgery in California. Due  to the  COVID-19 virus this is being postponed for a long time. We all know the struggle is real for everybody during this time to pay for things.  It’s especially hard for Beth having trouble    with her disability and living in such an expensive place, making it very hard to pay the bills and there’s not an option to leave Hawaii        because that is where her children are and     she would never be away from them.
