Help Saylor Walk Again
Hi, my name is Windy and I am fundraising for my best friend of +10 years Saylor Allen. She is 27 years old and a mother of two boys.
This weekend she was in a horrible one-car accident to which she hardly survived, seemingly from an absolute miracle. She was driving home early Saturday morning when she veered off to the side of the road at the 59 junction, before over-correcting into the ditch, causing her large gold Yukon to roll several times. Saylor was ejected from the vehicle and thrown 12 feet away into a ditch filled with water. She laid there screaming in agonizing pain as she was vulnerably conscious, but desperately couldn’t move her body at all. First responders on the scene wheeled her into an ambulance where they worked to stabilize my best friend’s life as they awaited the helicopter to life-flight her to Tulsa. She was in critical condition at time and traffic lined up for miles while passerby’s filmed the wreck.
After 3 combined initial surgeries that lasted +8 hours, Saylor thankfully pulled through with her life still in hand! The crash left her with multiple injuries some of which include: broken neck, broken vertebrae in two places, broken shoulder, broken ribs, broken hip, severe gashes in her arms and legs, + internal wounds and mental trauma.
Today Saylor is being transferred out of the ICU and into a recovery unit. She will remain at the Saint Francis hospital for another week or so, before eventually moving into a rehab facility to begin her extremely long journey of learning how to walk again. The rehab will be very costly to her as it is to every American with slim/no medical insurance. She’s expected a 3 month stay in the physical rehabilitation center, but that number could still increase. I am asking for help to ensure her recovery is as speedy and painless as possible. We just want her to walk again!
Saylor is also a mother of two boys, ages 2 and 10. She will not be able to come home to them like she is so used to doing. She will not be able to lift her baby again for months, possibly never again, and that absolutely breaks her heart. The last thing I want her worrying about is how she is going to support them with no job while she heals. Her primary focus should be recovery and rebuilding her strength. Her next priorities are her children. She has so many loved ones that care so deeply for her. There is enormous power in numbers, and we are already SO thankful for the prayers and healing vibes sent her way! The drs said she is a living miracle and doing really well so far with the treatments! So please don’t stop praying! They do work! We are just endlessly thankful God didn’t call her home yet.
If you are in a position to financial help, every penny donated really does make such a difference! If you cannot donate, it’s still extremely appreciated if you could share this link to any and all platforms and please continue to pray! Our short term goal is $10,000 to help cover the medical bills from both the hospital and the upcoming rehab facility. Anything extra will go toward supporting her two boys until she is healed enough to work again. This GoFundMe is purely to help my very best friend literally get back on her feet! I miss you so much Saylorbug!! You are not alone! We unconditionally love and support you.
