<div>My Mom Is a HERO — She Saved My Little Brother’s Life!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Friday, October 3rd, 2025, my world changed forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom and my 9-year-old little brother Bronx were hit by a car that ran a red light while they were walking across the street in a marked crosswalk on Spring Grove Avenue, right across from the District 3 Impound Lot.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The driver didn’t stop and has yet to be caught. Police camera footage is backlogged according to District 3 so we have no updates yet.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>In that split second, my mom’s instincts kicked in — she pushed Bronx out of the way and took the brunt of the impact herself. Because of her, Bronx survived.
</div>

<div>Bronx’s Injuries
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bronx walked away with:
</div>
<div>•	A fractured elbow
</div>
<div>•	Five stitches on his arm
</div>
<div>•	Road rash and bruises
</div>
<div>•	A minor concussion
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He’s sore and a bit shaken up, but he’s home recovering thanks to my mom’s quick action.

<div>My Mom’s Injuries
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom suffered life-threatening injuries and is still fighting through pain every single day.
</div>
<div>She has:
</div>
<div>•	Bleeding on the brain
</div>
<div>•	Several pelvic fractures
</div>
<div>•	A punctured bladder
</div>
<div>•	Severe road rash across her body
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors say she’ll be confined to a wheelchair for at least 1 month and she won’t be able to return to work for at least 4–6 months — maybe longer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her Everyday Battle (Even Before the Accident)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even before this tragedy, my mom was fighting silent battles every single day and still showing up for everyone she loves.
</div>
<div>She lives with:
</div>
<div>•	Arthritis
</div>
<div>•	Multiple slipped disks in her back
</div>
<div>•	Scoliosis
</div>
<div>•	Pinched sciatic nerve
</div>
<div>•	Pernicious anemia (she lives with a dangerously low blood count of 4–5 daily)
</div>
<div>•	Cellulitis autoimmune disease
</div>
<div>•	Chronic gut issues that make eating and digestion extremely difficult
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yet despite all of this, she still worked full-time for Cincinnati Public Schools and cared for everyone around her — including her own parents.
</div>
<div>She is a caregiver, protector, and true fighter in every sense.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div>️ Why We’re Raising Funds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom is a single mother of four (ages 28, 18, 16, and 9).
</div>
<div>She’ll need months of recovery, physical therapy, and ongoing care.
</div>
<div>We’re raising funds to cover:
</div>
<div>•	Rent and living expenses while she’s unable to work
</div>
<ul>
<li>Remaining Rent $425
</li>
<li>Electric $94
</li>
<li>Water $248
</li>
<li>Insurance $85
</li>
<li>Food/Toiletries
</li>
</ul>
<div>•	Hospital bills, rehab, and therapy
</div>
<div>•	Transportation and home recovery equipment
</div>
<div>•	Support for Bronx’s follow-up appointments and school needs
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — no matter how small — makes a difference. It helps my mom focus on healing instead of worrying about bills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div>1.	Donate if you can. Every dollar helps us keep the lights on and cover care costs.
</div>
<div>2.	Share this link. Help us reach more hearts across Cincinnati and beyond.
</div>
<div>3.	Pray for healing. My mom and Bronx need all the love, prayers, and positivity the world can send.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>From Our Family to Yours
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re still in shock, but we’re holding onto gratitude — gratitude that Bronx is alive, gratitude that my mom is still here, and gratitude for the love this community has shown us already.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She’s a walking miracle.
</div>
<div>A mother. A fighter. A hero.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us carry her through this.
