Help Sarah Recover From Head-on Collison Accident
Donation protected
Hi family and friends,
I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of my older sister, Sarah. On March 17, 2023 Sarah was driving home on I-435 when a drunk driver who was driving in the wrong direction on the wrong side of the highway struck her head-on. The high impact from the collision pushed her vehicle to the other side of the highway and trapped her in the vehicle causing her to be evacuated. Sarah was immediately transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center for serious injuries including concussion, extensive bruising, lacerations from the seatbelt and multiple, severe fractures to her right ankle and leg. Sarah already had one surgery to place an external fixator to stabilize the fractures and will eventually require another surgery/surgeries to fix the fractures. Sarah will then be placed in a subacute rehabilitation facility for extensive physical, speech and occupational therapy before going home. She has a long recovery ahead of her before she will be independent in her own care and driving again.
Donations received will go directly towards whatever Sarah may need/want during this time to be more comfortable - comfy clothes for physical therapy, her favorite foods to keep her spirits up and activities to keep her busy. Although items lost in the car are replaceable and nothing compared to her life, Sarah has lost many personal belongings of value to her, such as her work laptop and many pairs of prescription glasses. Donations will also go towards any medical bills not covered by insurance and of course, an eventual new car.
Our family is extremely grateful for all the prayers and kind words Sarah has received during this difficult time. It is a miracle she is here with us today surrounded by family. With our help, Sarah will be back on her feet being the badass lawyer we all know her to be! We continue to be grateful that Sarah is here with us on this Earth in one piece.
