Help Isabella Recover After a Life-Changing Car Accident
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Danielle, and I’m fundraising for my dear friend Samantha's daughter, Isabella.
A few weeks ago, Isabella’s life changed in an instant. She was a passenger in a serious car accident and was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries. Doctors discovered internal bleeding from a grade 4 liver injury, and she was taken straight into emergency surgery.
Her injuries were severe and extensive:
10 broken ribs
A fractured sternum
A broken collarbone
A punctured and collapsed lung
Severe seatbelt trauma
Broken/chipped teeth
She was placed in the ICU to begin her recovery. But just as she began to stabilize, complications set in. Isabella developed a lung infection, and both lungs partially collapsed, making it nearly impossible for her to breathe. A code blue was called when she went into respiratory arrest.
Isabella underwent a second emergency surgery, where doctors found a leak in her bile duct. To help her body fight the infection, she was placed on a breathing tube and kept sedated in the ICU.
Thanks to her incredible strength and the tireless work of her medical team, Bella has now left the ICU and is continuing her recovery at home. But her journey is far from over.
How You Can Help
Isabella faces a long road ahead — physically, emotionally, and financially. This fundraiser will help cover:
Ongoing medical expenses
Physical therapy and rehabilitation
Follow-up treatments and medications
Any additional support she’ll need as she heals
Bella is one of the strongest, kindest people I know. She’s meeting each day with courage beyond her years — but she needs our help.
If you’re able to donate, any amount is deeply appreciated. Please also consider sharing this page to help us reach more people.
Thank you so much for your love and support.
