Hi! I’m Beth. I’m asking for your help so I can focus on healing and ongoing recovery from a bad bike/auto accident.

 

In April 2021, I was crossing a street on my bicycle when an SUV hit me, pinning me under it. It broke my hip, tailbone, and elbow, and left me with permanent scars, hip problems, arm problems, and neuropathy. In the blink of an eye my world changed.

 

A year later, I’m working hard to heal, like recover from ongoing surgeries, regain the ability to walk, & build back strength. I have had 12 surgeries (so far?). I had to spend 2 1/2 months in the hospital, unable to see my 9 and 7 year olds due to COVID restrictions.

 

I was fortunate to have good health insurance, but I still have huge medical bills from copays and PT. And we have racked up all kinds of incidental expenses, like medical transport vans, ordering in meals, accessibility aids and medical supplies, and the biggest - modifying my shower to be accessible.

 

Any amount is appreciated! Your contribution will directly make up for my lost income & our unexpected but necessary expenses. It will help me focus on taking the time I need to heal, rather than rushing back to the workforce before I should. Your help would benefit my whole family - I want to get back to participating in family activities.

 

Thank you!
