Help Desirae Walk Again: Fund Her Prosthetic Leg
Donation protected
My name is Melanie and I'm reaching out to the community and beyond on behalf of my little cousin Desirae(Desi). Desi was involved in a horrible 4 wheeler accident on August 29, 2024, she was on the back and hit by another driver. Desi was critically injured and was flown to a nearby trauma center. She has been in ICU at that trauma center since the accident. Desi has multiple serious injuries with the most serious being she unfortunately had to have her leg amputated. Her injuries include her leg amputation, fractured pelvis, multiple fractured ribs, punctured lung, as well as shoulder and wrists injuries. Desi has already had blood transfusions because as you can imagine she lost alot of blood due to the accident, she's also undergone 2 surgeries due to them having to go further up for the leg amputation. She is now being monitored for infection at the amputated site and they are making sure her leg is stable before they proceed with any other surgeries. She has started physical therapy and is doing very well, she actually stood up today during pt. The doctors have not discussed any plans on a discharge date as of yet because it depends on her healing progress and how she progresses mentally and physically. Desi will be 28 Nov 1 and we already know she is going to need alot of support mentally and physically. Because as you can imagine this is a life changing accident and we are going to help her and support her through it all. We are asking for donations to pay for the life flight helicopter transport to the trauma unit, she will also need a prosthetic leg at some point, we are also asking for funds to get her a wheelchair for when she is released from the hospital. Her whole life has been changed due to the negligence of someone else and she should not have to suffer because of that. Desi is a fighter and always has been so we know she will get through this hurdle but we would love to make her journey a little easier on her. She is not the type to just sit around and not better herself so that In it's self is going to be a struggle. We appreciate any and all donations, shares and prayers we can get for Desi and just know we are so appreciative of each of them. We will def be keeping updates current on her progress. We want to thank each and everyone of you who have continued to pray for Desi and who have reached out, it's more appreciated then you will ever know.
