Help Jackson Recover from Horrific Car Accident
Donation protected
Dear everyone,
My life took a drastic turn on the fateful day of Saturday, April 29th at 5:00 am. I was traveling with two friends to Tallahassee, where we all studied at Florida State University. We were taking turns driving my vehicle, but tragedy struck when one of my friends collided with another vehicle, while I was in the backseat, sleeping. I was abruptly awakened by the shaking sensation of losing control of the vehicle. The car shook uncontrollably, and it took me a while to comprehend what was happening. As I tried to grab onto something to steady myself, the car flipped five to six times, according to witnesses at the scene. The last thing I remembered was the car shaking violently.
When the car came to a stop, I realized that we were upside down. I was disoriented and panicked. I needed to get out of the car as soon as possible. The door was caved in, and I couldn't open it. I looked around and saw that one of the broken windows could be my only way out. I crawled on my stomach and slithered out of the window, squeezing myself through the bent frame with my friends also following my path.
As soon as I emerged from the car, I saw the devastating sight of my vehicle upside down, wrecked beyond recognition. I was in shock and couldn't comprehend the magnitude of the situation. It was only when I felt the blood trickling down my head that I realized the gravity of my injuries. Afterward, EMS came, and we were all rushed to the hospital, I started to feel excruciating pain in my head, back, and neck once my adrenaline started to wear off. I was diagnosed with Head trauma, Scalp Contusion, and Cervical Strain and Sprain Rehab. I had to get staples on my head as a result of the head trauma.
That accident changed my life forever. I was left with physical and emotional scars that will never fully heal. The memory of that horrific accident haunts me to this day, and I can never forget the impact it had on my life. I am very thankful that my friends and I made it out, knowing that it could have been way worse.
I am a college student at Florida State University, where I need a vehicle to get around in my daily life. Sadly, I cannot rely on my mother for support because she's already struggling to support three children on her limited income as a single parent. I would greatly appreciate any contribution you are able to make, no matter how small. Each dollar brings me closer to regaining my normal life and recovering from the trauma of the accident. If you are unable to contribute, I completely understand, and sharing this fundraiser with others would also be incredibly helpful. Thank you for considering my situation, and I am grateful for any support you can offer.
I am so thankful that we are able to live past this day. God is Real, and God is Good.
