Get Kathie Back on the Road Again

Hi everyone,

My sisters and I want to share an update about our mom, Kathie.

On December 26th, she was in a serious six-car accident (no fault of her own) that left her with a fractured foot, a fractured femur, and the need for a blood transfusion and regular oxygen while hospitalized.

After spending over three weeks in the hospital and a skilled nursing facility, I'm so grateful to say she finally made it back home on January 18th.

But even though she's home, she can't leave without a transport service. (If you don’t know, she has been a paraplegic since 1986 due to a spinal tumor)

Her wheelchair-accessible van is totaled, and the insurance payout from the underinsured motorist won't come close to covering a replacement for her.

A new or used van with a lift and hand controls can cost between $60k and $80k.

Our mom has always been incredibly independent. It breaks our hearts to see her stuck at home without a van. She has given so much of herself to others in the community, and now we're asking for help.

We would be grateful if you could support her GoFundMe.

We know times are challenging for many families, so if you can't donate now, please consider sharing this page and keeping her in your prayers.

Every little bit brings us closer to restoring her freedom and the life she had before the accident happened.

Let's get this incredible woman back on the road! Thank you for reading and for any support you can give.
