Help Cie Recover: Emergency Surgery After Devastating E-Bike Accident
My name is Cie (they/them). I am a Black trans artist, a digital illustrator, muralist and a cultural Worker based in Atlanta. I am writing this in a lot of pain and vulnerability.
On June 23, 2026, I was in a horrific bike accident that resulted in severe damages to my face and arm. My facial injuries include severe damage to my teeth and jaw, so this is emergency oral care as much as it is reconstructive surgery. I am struggling to move, and speaking is excruciating. As an artist and community organizer, my voice and my hands are the tools I use to survive.
I don't have dental insurance.
I need emergency surgery to reconstruct my face and repair the damage to my mouth and jaw. Without it, the pain will only get worse, and I risk permanent damage. The financial weight of this is crushing. I am barely scraping by to pay rent as it is, and now I am facing a mountain of medical and dental bills I simply cannot afford.
I NEED EMERGENCY FUNDS! Funds requested will cover the oral surgery itself, the post-operative care, rent and food for the next two months while I am unable to work.
