Support Jubitza's Recovery from Motorbike Accident

Hi friends, family, and community,

While traveling in Cambodia, I experienced a serious motorbike accident that resulted in a torn ACL, meniscus, and fracture. Due to the severity of the injury, I was unable to take a long flight back home, and had to be urgently transferred to Thailand for surgery and post-op care. Truly so grateful to be alive and to be in the recovery process ✨

As an experiential educator, my work is rooted in movement, travel, and leading students through immersive, physical learning experiences . This injury has completely halted my ability to work, and I’ve now found myself navigating a painful recovery process far from home. I’ll need to stay in Thailand for at least a month, depending on how healing progresses, and I won’t be able to take on work or support myself in the U.S. immediately afterward either.

I’m asking for support to help cover:

• Emergency surgery and medical costs

• Unexpected job loss

• Living expenses and bills while I’m unable to work or travel home

If you’re able to donate, anything truly helps. If Venmo is easier, you can send support directly to @jubitzafigueroa. I’m also open to remote work opportunities or any recommendations for grants or aid during this time.

Thank you so much for the outpouring of love, messages, and healing wishes . I’ll continue to keep my communities updated as I recover and get back on my feet—literally and figuratively.

With deep gratitude,

Jubitza
