Help Maddy Rebuild Her Life

Donation protected
Maddy is a 19 year old from Sydney, Australia. She is a fun loving young woman who always has time to help those around her. She loves to travel, dance, skate and snowboard as well as spend time with her friends and family.

At the end of January she fell 4 stories while climbing with friends. Though we are grateful to still have her with us and that all her injuries are repairable, this accident has left her hospitalised for the foreseeable future with a long path of rehabilitation ahead to get her life back to a sense of normality. Something as simple as even walking again could take years.
She has broken her:
- pelvis
- her hip
- one arm had a bad compound fracture
- one thigh had a compound fracture
- one knee cap was broken and shattered
- fractures throughout her skull and eye socket
- both of her feet were badly broken throughout
- tibia and fibulas on both legs were badly broken
- one of her heels was completely shattered and only 20% cartridge left around it.
Most of these injuries have left her with rods and plates put in to hold her together again and many will cause further issues down the road.

Maddy also lost her father a few years ago and lives with her single mum and two siblings.

Any donations will go towards all rehabilitation costs as well as all medical expenses that are in her future. Our family and Maddy too would be forever and grateful for any help you would like to give x 


GoFundMe has requested more information about myself and this fundraiser:
My name is Jessica Read,I am Maddy's older sister and I live in the same home she does in Sydney.
All the money raised will be spent on Maddy and her recovery over the years, whether that is directly paying for surgeries, rehabilitation, specialist visits, making our home wheelchair accessible as well as buying/renting wheelchairs and getting her special orthopaedic shoes once she's walking again. Honestly our family is in the unknowing stage of how much support Maddy will need money wise over the years and we are so grateful for all of your support.
All funds when withrawed will be going through my account and straight into a savings account my mum has set up for her.
