Help Rakiyah Recover from a Devastating Car Accident

On what should’ve been an ordinary day, our beloved Rakiyah’s life was shattered in a horrific car accident. She is now battling through multiple traumatic injuries, unimaginable pain, and an uncertain path to recovery.

Her world changed in an instant — and so did ours.

⸻

The Extent of Her Injuries:

• Fractured lower spine (tailbone) – causing debilitating pain and major mobility issues

• Broken wrist – surgically repaired with plates and screws

• Broken foot – making it impossible for her to walk

• Multiple broken ribs – causing difficulty breathing and intense, stabbing pain

• Severe facial trauma, including:

• Deep stitches in her chin

• Major damage to her left eye, which is swollen shut and currently non-functional

• Widespread bruising, cuts, and swelling — from head to toe

Rakiyah is currently confined to a hospital bed. She can’t walk. She can’t see from one eye. She can’t care for herself. And she is in constant pain.

⸻

What She’s Endured So Far:

• Surgery on both legs (Open Reduction and Internal Fixation)

• Wrist surgery with plates and screws

• Facial repair for deep eye and chin lacerations

• Spinal treatment and pain management

• Rib injury monitoring to prevent complications like pneumonia

• Full-body imaging (CT scans, X-rays) and continuous trauma care

More surgeries and long-term therapies are likely depending on how her body heals.

⏳ The Long Road Ahead:

Doctors anticipate a 6 to 12+ month recovery journey, which includes:

• Intensive physical therapy

• Facial and eye consultations (possible reconstructive surgery)

• Trauma counseling and emotional healing

• Long-term wheelchair use and mobility aids

• Home modifications and full-time caregiving

⸻

Why We’re Asking for Help:

We’re raising $30,000 to help cover the overwhelming financial toll of her healing, including:

• Surgeries and treatments not covered by insurance

• Ongoing physical and occupational therapy

• Vision care and potential eye surgery

• Wheelchair, foot brace, wound care, and other medical equipment

• Transportation for post-discharge appointments

• In-home care and mental health support
