<div>On December 29, 2025, my mother and two adult sisters were seriously injured in a head-on collision with a semi-truck while stopped at a traffic signal on North Columbia Boulevard in Portland.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A young child, my four year old great nephew, was also in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>While stopped at a left turn signal, their vehicle was struck head on by a semi truck.
</div>
<div>The force of the crash pushed their car across multiple lanes, over a curb, and onto nearby railroad tracks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Emergency responders and bystanders acted quickly, and we are deeply grateful for the help they provided at the scene.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All three adults in the household were injured. Two family members remain hospitalized, and recovery is ongoing. The child was thankfully spared serious injury but has experienced bruising and is being monitored.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Their only household vehicle was totaled, and one of my sisters is currently unable to work due to her injuries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors have now determined that my mother will require placement in a rehabilitation or treatment facility for an extended period of time, currently estimated at at least three months, as she recovers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is the primary person who manages the household. Medical providers are still evaluating whether one of my sisters will also require short term transitional or rehabilitative care following her hospitalization.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser is to help support the household with essential living expenses during recovery, including housing costs, food, transportation needs, and other basic necessities while medical care, insurance, and employment matters are being addressed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am organizing this fundraiser on their behalf. I do not live in the household, and all funds raised will go directly to my mother and sisters as they focus on healing and maintaining stability during this difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any funds not immediately needed will be used to support ongoing recovery and household needs as circumstances evolve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers, is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1/1 Update: Thank you for the continued support and prayers. We are facing a major challenge with discharge planning. My mother needs a back brace that is difficult to put on and take off safely, and the other adults in the home are also injured. The hospital has told us that facility based rehab may not be approved, and we are being told that in home care could be out of pocket. We are pushing back and advocating for the care they need, but in the meantime we still have household bills, transportation needs, and daily basics to cover. If you can donate or share, we truly appreciate it.
