Help Mariana Pay her ER Bills after Bike Accident!

Donation protected
Dear friends,

On May 4th, 2020, I lost control of my newly-refurbished road bike traveling 30-40 mph downhill in Austin, Texas. Because I fell on a hill, I tumbled and skidded a long time, hitting my head, knee, shoulder, hand, foot... and well, pretty much my entire body. The road rash and injuries were severe, and while I'd rather not go into the specific details of my injuries, I was unable to walk unassisted for about a month. The accident necessitated two separate ER visits, as well as numerous visits to various orthopedists, dermatologists, acupuncturists, and physical therapists. I also required imaging. Unfortunately my insurance company is refusing to pay most of the cost. I also was unable to work during this time and have lost income from that period. 

I am so thankful today to be walking with relatively few scars and lasting injuries. I'm very fortunate to have ultimately required no surgery, as well. 

I've waited to launch this campaign out of respect for the Black Lives Matter movement, as I didn't want to distract or steer funds away from the cause at a crucial moment in history.

Now, however, I'm facing a number of bills that I am simply unable to pay alone at this time. If you could please donate what you can and share this gofundme with your friends and family, I'd really appreciate it! I'm grateful for your support.

Love,
Mariana
