My sister Ellie was recently involved in a serious car accident that has left her hospitalized and facing an incredibly difficult road ahead.

While driving, Ellie swerved to avoid hitting another vehicle and unfortunately lost control, hitting a pole and a tree. She was taken to the hospital and is currently being treated for a collapsed lung, with a chest tube in place to help her recover.

We are incredibly grateful that Ellie is here with us, but this accident has left her with unexpected medical expenses and without a vehicle.

Anyone who knows Ellie knows how sweet, caring, and dependable she is. Her car isn’t just how she gets herself to and from work — she’s also someone our family relies on, and she regularly helps our other siblings get where they need to go.

We’re raising money to help Ellie with medical expenses related to the accident and the cost of replacing her vehicle so that, once she’s recovered, she can get back to work and regain some normalcy and independence.

Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to Ellie and our family right now. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would help tremendously as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Ellie’s story, donate, share, or simply keep her in your thoughts while she recovers. ❤️
