LEXI STRONG
Donation protected
In early April of this year Alexis Eukitis and her boyfriend Austin Morrison were involved in an accident when the throttle stuck and the brakes failed on the golf cart they were riding on. The golf cart hit a fence throwing them both over the fence onto the ground. Austin suffered some minor injuries, however Lexy who suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta (a brittle bone disease) landed on her back crushing her 8th vertebrae, fracturing 7 ribs, breaking her left femur and has a hang mans fracture on her neck. Before this accident Lexy has had 47 breaks/fractures since birth, to date she has had 57 total brakes/fractures. She turns 17 on May 1st.
When Lexy arrived at the hospital she could not feel anything from her chest down. She had several surgeries to release the pressure on her spine and had a rod put in her femur, Currently Lexy is at a Rehabilitation Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida that specializes in spinal cord injuries. She still has no feeling in her legs and is going to therapy every day. We do not know what the future holds for this young lady but we do know that she has a long road ahead of her.
Lexy is a fighter and she has a loving supportive family. Lexy's parents Tom and Jennifer, her sister Azia, her boyfriend Austin, along with his parents and her Nanna have been right by her side from day one! Tom and Jen's focus right now is if their daughter will ever walk again. But the reality is....This lengthy care is not covered 100% by insurance, is not cheap and at some point may not be covered at all. Also it is possible they may have to remodel to accommodate a wheel chair.
Any donations to help the Eukitis family with Lexy's medical expenses are appreciated! If you can not donate money to help with Lexy's medical expenses, PLEASE pray for her full recovery and share this link with all of your friends. May you be blessed ten fold for your generosity and prayers.
God bless and thank you,
Lexy's Uncle Jeff and Auntie Lisa
