Help Jenna Heal and Rebuild Her Life

On the evening of June 12th, 2024, our neighbors, Dean & Suzanna’s, 27 year old daughter, Jenna was involved in a very traumatic incident . She received multiple lacerations and bruises to her face, arms and right leg. Her right wrist and two fingers of her right hand were broken. The left arm received the most serious of injuries, with multiple broken bones, severe soft tissue and vascular damage. She was in the operating room for 6.5 hours the first night as her medical team worked to repair her injuries. Jenna spent a total of 10 days in the hospital, 8 of those in the ICU and underwent 3 more surgeries. On June 19th, the very difficult decision was made to amputate her left hand, with that surgery taking place two days later. The inability to use her right hand and the loss of the left requires her to need full time care as she is unable to perform even the most basic tasks. Fortunately, her husband, Tim, was able to take family medical leave from his job to provide the much needed love and support she needs. This week, the pins in her right hand were removed and she started the next phase of her healing, rehabilitation and the prosthetic journey for her left arm. There is still a long road to recovery as her body continues to heal and she goes through extensive Occupational Therapy to restore strength and mobility to her right hand and adapts to living with one hand. She’s hopeful that a prosthetic will bring some normalcy back to her life. Jenna is a copywriter/editor and will need time to acquire the new skills to continue doing the job she loves. This GoFundMe account is to help Jenna and Tim pay for living and medical expenses as well as for the adaptive equipment she will require to regain her independence.
