Medical Assistance for Maddie

Donation protected


On July 29, 2014, Maddie's normal return home from work nearly turned into her last trip. The accident has resulted in severe injuries, numerous surgeries and a refusal from her to ever ride a motorcycle again. She needs your help.


This is her story:
My name is Maddie, and I was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident. I was thrown 200 feet and landed in a bush. I was impaled by a two and a half inch diameter branch, which entered my breast, hit my lung in two places, and pierced through my diaphragm and into my liver. At the time of the accident, I was sure I was going to die. I wasn’t afraid, just angry that I wasn’t able to tell my family and boyfriend of four years that I loved them one more time before I left this world.


To my surprise, I woke up in ICU in the hospital the next day. I spent five weeks in the hospital and have undergone twelve surgeries in the past two months, including repair to my lung, in which I lost 15%; repair to my diaphragm and liver; bone and skin grafts and reconstruction of the muscle tissue in my breast area. I am undergoing rehabilitation and have several other surgeries/procedures scheduled for the future, including breast reconstruction. I am unable to work due to my injuries and don’t expect to be able to return to work for the next five to six months. I have many hospital bills and other expenses that I am unable to pay. I am asking for any donations from family, friends or other donors to help me through this difficult time. Thank you!
