Help Petersen family in a time of need

Hi my name is Ashley Merritt and sweet little Ollie Mae is my littlest cousin. I’ve watched her go from being so shy burrowing in mom‘s hair, not wanting anyone else, to running up to me and give the biggest, bestest hug you could ever imagine while talking my ear off! I created this go fund me fundraiser to help the most hard working, loving, dedicated family in Central Oregon! 

With as many hardships that this family has endured in the last year from weather, windstorm, to loss of irrigation water, now Ollie Mae’s accident. Any family would have broke by now. They are so strong and fight for what they believe in! This is the family I aspire to have have one day ,such a kind hearted, animal loving family. 

Ollie has lived in culver her whole life (3 years) helping mom and dad on the family farm! With your donations this will help with 

medical bills/medication/ PT

Hospital stay at Dornbeckers icu- saved her 

Ambulance company- they stabilized her. 

AirLife- they took a chance flying Heather and Ollie to OHSU during a thunderstorm

Any money donated after medical bills,the Petersen family would like to start a helmet fund for the young horseman in the community! 

To Friends and family, Ollie Mae was kicked in the back of the head yesterday afternoon. She is in critical care at OHSU-Dornbeckers ICU. We don't know much about the future. She will be sedated and on a ventilator for a few more days as they try to control brain swelling and seizures. She had surgery last night to remove bone and decompress the scull.

If you ever met this little girl you would know she is the purest soul and full of determination! Please help in anyway you can.
