Help Bethanie learn to walk again, to get back to her babies

Okay, this is the last thing I ever expected myself to be doing.... In so many different ways. On February 25th, 2025, I got into a terrible car accident.

My two year old daughter was in the backseat, yet was miraculously unharmed. For that I cannot be grateful enough. I did, however, sustain many injuries in this accident. Both of my legs are broken, both in very different ways, one has a metal rod helping support me, while the other cannot currently hold more than the pressure of the weight of my toes. And if I accidentally push past that amount I've been told I could very likely spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair, so I'll be trying to find this balance quickly - as I relearn to walk and do all the little things I've always taken for granted.

Sorry I've never done any of this, guys, so my only way I know to do this is be honest about my injuries, and why I need help. And if you can't, I appreciate you caring enough to read my wordy explanation lol.

So there was a couple that saved my daughter's and my life and first and foremost I want to thank them for sticking around and for their bravery. This is a spot of road I know to be accident heavy, and TBH it happened so we quickly I'm still not sure of all the details. Just that my daughter was uninjured due to carseat safety, and was brought out of a burning vehicle by this couples courage and humility. I saw she was safe, and could not move or breathe at that point... So I let go..... I woke in a helicopter... And remember thinking " I have never been in a helicopter.... This must be really bad"

Next I woke after I had had to several to surgeries. To both my legs, and a portion of my bowels had been severed by my seatbelt, and had to be repaired. Along with a broken sternum, and some ribs. Also, the first lumbar of my back. I guess one f the ribs had also perforated a part of a bowel...pretty gross. This is at least what I gathered from all I was told upon waking..... I know this is a lot to read, I just feel like transparency is important in these situations, so Ive just decided to give you what I got. For those of you who know me, you know I have 3 babies, 18, 3, and 2...... Lol, yes, you read that right. They are being well cared for and I'm going every thing I can to work my butt off so I can get back to being able to pick up my babies, and not needing to ask people for things. My job is waiting for me, because they are angels, but they can't pay me for this time, which is understandable. So I'm asking if you can help, or if you want to help, my family are so grateful for anything. My only son is special needs, and I would love to be able to give him the quality of care he deserves. He does not understand why I'm not there, not have either of my kids ever been away from me like this.

But the main part of this story is I'm still here!! My baby is okay!! I get another chance to appreciate all of it.. I just have to hold on to that.

I love you all,

Bethanie G
