Help Chloe Heal After Water Street Crash

On July 19, 2025, 22 year old Chloe was out celebrating her college graduation with friends in downtown Milwaukee, a night that should have been filled with joy and accomplishment. Instead, it turned tragic when a driver recklessly crashed through barricades that were meant to protect pedestrians on Water Street, struck Chloe and another young woman as they crossed the street.

The impact was violent. Chloe was left seriously injured in the road. A local mother rushed from her car and stayed by Chloe’s side until EMTs arrived, offering comfort through unimaginable pain.

Chloe remains hospitalized and is facing a long road to recovery, physically, emotionally and financially. Her life has been turned upside down by a moment of senseless, preventable harm. She’s unable to return to work or daily life for the foreseeable future and will need extended support as she begins healing.

We love Chloe deeply. She’s a kind, vibrant and beautiful person. The kind of person who lights up every room she walks into. She didn’t deserve this. And now, as she begins the long journey toward healing, we have to show up for her the way she’s always shown up for others.

We’re sharing her story not only to support her recovery but to call attention to the urgent need for change in our city. Let's raise what we can to ease the burden of medical bills, recovery costs and time away from work. Let's support her family through the unknowns ahead. And let's remind Chloe that she’s surrounded by love, strength and a community that refuses to let her go through this alone.

Thank you for standing with Chloe. Every donation, every share and every kind word means more than we can ever say.
