<div>My name is Hailey Praslick, and I am 21 years old. I never imagined I would have to create a fundraiser like this, but my family is facing the most difficult time of our lives, and we are asking for your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom, Kelly Praslick-Scimia, is 38 years old and has dedicated the past 15 years of her life to caring for others as a cardiac technician at Westchester Medical Center. Now, after a devastating accident that resulted in the amputation of her left foot, she is the one who needs care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although we are incredibly grateful that she survived, her life has changed forever. She now faces a long and difficult road ahead that will include additional medical care, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and eventually learning to walk again with a prosthetic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because of the severity of her injuries, Kelly is unable to work and has no clear timeline for when she will be able to return. The loss of her income, combined with the overwhelming medical expenses and the costs of her recovery, has placed an enormous financial strain on our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My stepdad, Michael Scimia, is a full-time police officer with the City of Yonkers and also works as an electrician to provide for our family. He has always worked tirelessly to support us, but now he must reduce his work hours so he can be by my mom’s side, care for her during her recovery, and help raise my four younger siblings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At home are my little brothers and sisters who need their parents now more than ever: Emilia (7), Nadia (4), and 3-year-old twins Michael and Daniel. As our family adjusts to this new reality, we are doing everything we can to stay strong, but we cannot do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The funds raised will help cover medical expenses not covered by insurance, rehabilitation, prosthetic-related costs, transportation to appointments, home modifications, everyday household bills, and help replace the income my mom has lost while she recovers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, no matter the amount, it will make a tremendous difference for our family. If you are unable to give, we completely understand, and simply sharing this fundraiser with others would mean more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, prayers, and support. Every donation, every share, and every message of encouragement gives our family hope as Kelly begins the long journey toward recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Praslick-Scimia family 
</div>
