Our friend Lia needs OUR help!

Donation protected
Hello my name is Jimmy and I created this page in an effort to assist a friend in need.

Here’s what happened:

On her Birthday Sunday May 28th, during a dance class, a male lead forced her arm into a movement too forcefully resulting in a bone fracture of her shoulder (see photo). Unfortunately she couldn’t let go because the lead held her wrist and forced her into a head roll having her hand trapped in his grip. At that time, she heard and felt her bone cracking like a piece of wood as she yelled asking him to release her. His mindset was all about completing the pattern! From that point on, she couldn’t finish the class as the pain was extremely uncomfortable.

This incident has completely derailed her personal and professional plans. Lia was awarded a paid internship which has been withdrawn as a result of this incident. In addition, Lia daily activities have been severely affected. Simple things many of us enjoy like driving safely, cooking, texting, writing, and others are adversely affected.

Lia currently does NOT have medical insurance, this injury has caused her to have significant medical bills to add to her already emotional and physical pain. Lia tried to contact the person that caused the damage to her shoulder (he lives in California) and so far he has not responded, taken any responsibility, or offered to assist in her mounting costs.

Lia only wishes that dance leads stop being forceful and aggressive and be more mindful and considerate of the person they’re dancing with.

We are seeking help from the dance community and all of her friends. Our goal is to get Lia back on her feet and dancing with us again soon. Any amount is welcome and very appreciated.

Thank you so much in advance.
