Need help to Support my Mother after Bad Motorcycle Accident
Donation protected
My mother was in a devastating motorcycle crash in Saint Louis, Missouri, involving two other vehicles. She is about 500 miles away from her home of Lincoln, Nebraska. She was rushed to a trauma center in Saint Louis. That's where she will stay until she is well enough to be transferred back to Lincoln. She is in serious critical condition. She is still alive at this point. Chances of survival are still uncertain.
She is currently being kept in a medically induced coma until her other injuries heal. She has 13 broken ribs, some broken in more than one place. Her pelvis has been broken in half with a few fractures. They have stuck rods through her to try and fuse her pelvis back together. Her left leg has been badly mangled, partially severed and broken in two spots below the knee. They are doing what they can to save it. She has severe trauma to her head and had to have part of her skull removed to release pressure from her brain swelling. She currently has a machine breathing for her because she wouldn't be able to do it on her own.
It is going to be a long process before she will be able to come back home. But unfortunately, an accident like this doesn't stop her mortgage and other bills from being due every month. I really don't want my mother to lose everything she owns while she is trying to get through this. Which is why I decided to reach out and ask for help.
