Sarah, a dedicated Pre-K teacher and single mother of two young children, was recently involved in a serious car accident that left her with multiple significant injuries, including a lacerated kidney, two pelvic fractures, a fractured fourth rib, and a fracture of her C6 vertebra in her neck.

These injuries will require significant time, rest, follow-up care, and rehabilitation. Because Sarah teaches Pre-K, her job is especially physical. Her days normally involve constant standing and walking, bending, lifting, getting down on the floor with students, and closely supervising young children. It may be some time before she is physically able to safely return to her classroom.

Sarah works at a private school and does not have paid medical leave available to cover an extended recovery. She will have to use the PTO she has accumulated, and once that is exhausted, her time away from work will be unpaid.

On top of the medical and financial challenges ahead, Sarah will also need to replace her vehicle following the accident. As a single mother raising two young children, reliable transportation will be essential for getting to medical appointments, caring for her children, and eventually returning to work.

We are starting this fundraiser to help ease some of that financial pressure so Sarah can focus on healing and taking care of her family. Donations will help with lost income, medical expenses, rehabilitation and follow-up appointments, transportation, the cost of replacing her vehicle, and everyday living expenses during her recovery.

Sarah spends her days caring for and supporting young children, and now we would like to give her some of that same support while she works toward getting back on her feet and, eventually, back to her students.

Any amount helps, and if you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much.

Thank you for supporting Sarah and helping make her recovery a little easier.
