This GoFundMe is being organized for my friend jamilah, who is fighting to recover and rebuild her life after a tragic <a href="https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/hudson/2021/02/12/hudson-county-nj-police-need-help-identifying-truck-hit-and-run/6746610002/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hit and run</a> . In early February, a truck ran into jamilah while she was riding her bike. Her skin and muscle were scraped right off the bone as a result of the impact.  Her knees and ankles were fractured. Her foot was crushed and she suffered a broken tibia. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54947004_1614456599785234_r.jpeg" alt="54947004_1614456599785234_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> The truck driver never stopped. They didn’t stay at the scene or even stop to see if she was okay. She laid on the cold pavement in excruciating pain, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Right now, jamilah is at Jersey City Medical Center undergoing multiple surgeries, including a surgery to amputate part of her foot. She's hooked up to tubes all over and struggling to move her body. She's in constant pain. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54947004_1614456649830362_r.jpeg" alt="54947004_1614456649830362_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> This hit-and-run has changed jamilah's life forever. And while we're all thankful she's still here with us, right now she needs help. jamilah will have to pay medical costs for her treatment and she will probably need extensive physical therapy. Even after she's discharged from the hospital, she is going to need time to heal before she can work again. Any amount you can give to support jamilah as she recovers and rebuilds her life will be helpful. Thank you to everyone who's reading this. Thank you for supporting jamilah. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/54947004_1614453745873502_r.jpeg" alt="54947004_1614453745873502_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> If you can’t donate, please share this GoFundMe and keep jamilah in your thoughts. If you recognize the truck above or have any tips on its whereabouts, please reach out.
