Help Support Emergency Surgeries for Mariah

I am reaching out with a heavy heart because I am mourning, struggling with so many emotions, however need guidance, and help. It says know when you need to ask for help.. and with needing to fix the nerves in my face, shattered bones, and soft spots in my head. I could only afford one surgery and still have 2 more to go. 

I was in a wreck on 9/11/22 that changed my life forever. My fiancé was driving and I was asleep in the passenger seat. I don’t remember anything that happened after I fell asleep. I asked the authorities wouldn’t I have woken up? They said even if one of us would have woken up Benjamin or I, we wouldn’t have time to correct the vehicle based on the circumstances of where we were, he hit 2 vehicles. The first vehicle was a truck and the second an 18-wheeler. They said my love died instantly on impact.. and was told that my poor baby didn’t suffer at all. I was told the windshield busted and I was flung from the vehicle… at first I wasn’t responsive and in very bad shape making it to where I had to be care flighted from the wreck to a hospital in Fort Worth 3 hours away, spent a week in and out for a week and I don’t remember anything that happened in the ICU. When I finally do remember waking up, I was told the news about everything and what happened to my fiancé. I was devastated, then doctors told me I was lucky… what for? I didn’t understand until a couple days of go.. Benjamin wrapped me in his arms instantly after passing and God allowing him to hold me, protect me, in the air and landing in the dark. Was told I almost got ran over and so so much more that I didn’t know. I don’t understand why God did what he did, but know I’m blessed and that I was protected by an angel.. I have a long road of healing ahead of me but blessed to be here and extremely thankful of God and his angel Benjamin.. 


My skull has a consistency of multiple breaks, shattered areas along my temporal lobe, nerve complications, I had a 9.9mm hematoma, liver laceration, nasal/eye socket bones shattered and need surgery to fix the bones within my face and the major break on the side of my skull because my eye has sunk inward. Need to be fixed before double vision and or other complications. Also have scars that need fixing due to the tissue being above a nerve on my skull. 



I had just turned 26 in April and have no insurance, the man that loved me and provided for me passed away, we also opened a business together and am stuck with the crazy amount of debt, I worked until he wanted me to go back to school and promised to take care of me and wanted me to follow my dream because in the beginning I did nothing but supported all his dreams.. recently my school asked me to withdrawal due to my medical condition simply because it wouldn’t be smart to pursue with the injuries so that will have to be on hold until I’m healed. 

I am already billed with over 95 thousand dollars of medical debt from the wreck, care flight helicopter, and hospital bills and now am having to pay for 4 different surgeons to complete me in the final stages of healing. I don’t have insurance and am starting to get worried. I need to have surgery done before the skull completely fuses. I have to get the surgery regardless but later will cause me to have to have additional work done such as a medical saw to fix the indention in my skull, and place a titanium plate and screws to fix my head. 


I honestly don’t know what else to do other than to kindly ask for your help. I do know my family doesn’t deserve to struggle because I need immediate health help… the bills I have at the moment are getting larger and larger simply because I am not allowed to work at the moment either. I see how hard my dad works, it breaks my heart simply because he’s older, works in the sun every day, and doesn’t have any help from me. So I’m asking if you have room to help me that would be a blessing if not then prayers are just as much a blessing… I would be truly grateful with any help anyone could give.
