Help Jacqueline & Mike Recover After a Devastating Accident
Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,
A little over a month ago, our lives were turned upside down. My parents, Jacqueline and Mike, and their beloved dog, Buddy, were involved in a terrible car accident that left their world shattered.
Mike remains in the trauma center, fighting to regain his ability to walk after suffering life-altering injuries. My mom, Jacqueline, endured multiple pelvis fractures and other injuries, leaving her reliant on a wheelchair as she continues her long road to recovery. She spent three weeks in a care center, but the healing process is far from over.
Through all of this, two of their daughters, Aerielle and Sara, have been by their mom’s side every step of the way. They’ve worked tirelessly to help care for her, ensuring she has the support she needs for appointments, therapies, and day-to-day tasks. They’re balancing so much—helping Mom heal, worrying about Mike in the trauma center, and trying to keep things together for the family.
My parents are both getting up in age and have worked hard their entire lives, but this tragedy has left them unable to work and struggling to make ends meet. With mounting medical bills, the costs of rehabilitation, and everyday expenses, they’re now facing an uphill financial battle as they await out the long path to an insurance settlement.
I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support. Any donation, no matter the size, will help them recover lost wages and cover essential bills as Mike continues his care in the trauma center and Jacqueline works toward walking again.
They’ve already been through so much, and they deserve the chance to heal without the constant worry of financial strain. Buddy, Dot, and Ozzy their loyal dogs, have been their source of comfort through this nightmare, and together, they’re holding on to hope.
Your generosity could help them focus on what truly matters—getting back on their feet, literally and figuratively. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with others who might help would mean the world to us.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your compassion during this difficult time.
With gratitude,
Aerielle
