Help after Life Changing Accident

Donation protected
I'm fundraising for my brother, Justin Simshauser, and sister-in-law to be who were in a terrible accident today. They were hit on the passenger side and my sister-in-law, Felicia Smith, ended up in emergency surgery. She came to the hospital having been impaled with a piece of a vehicle still in her. She had massive blood loss, has siginificant internal injuries, will be unable to walk for a while, has broken bones, and will need more surgeries in the future-- just to name a few challenges. The trauma surgeon compared her soft tissue injuries to a shark bite.
Felicia is bound to lose her new job because she won't have been there long enough to qualify for FMLA or benefits. Her work has no legal obligation to keep her in her position. 
The trauma surgeon said she will be in the hospital for weeks. 
She has 5 dogs that she loves with all her heart. She always helps others and has a huge heart. I know Felicia is going to lose her mind not being able to see her fur babies on top of having to deal with her severe injuries. My heart is broken. I am so worried about her and my brother and the challenges ahead of them. The significant recovery and rehab she faces in the months ahead have my head spinning.... and I am just an outside party. Please, donate if you can. Every little bit will ease a little bit of their stress. Thank you in advance for your donations and prayers. They are much needed.
