Rally for Tamara

Donation protected
I wanted to start a go fund me for Tamara because she works so hard to take care of herself and Brielle. The least I could do is help ease the burden I know she feels and will feel over the next few months of her recovery. She is the sole payee of this account and all money donated will go directly to her so she can pay her bills during this difficult time. Please find it in your heart to donate anything you can to help her out. I have included her Facebook post and pictures: Prayer needed!! I was on my way to work. I'm a nurse at Methodist University. I have been a nurse for 17 years now. I worked in trauma my first 6 years, and now I am a victim of trauma. a A HUGE tree fell on top of my car causing my neck to break. I don't remember how it happened, I just know I was driving and it fell from the opposite side of the road. I lost about 3 days of my memory and then it's just a hit and miss for the next 10 days. It wasn't raining, stormy or windy. The tree landed on top of my car, crushing me and my head took all of the damage. It's crushed one of my vertebrae, or neck bones, and severely hurt the vessels in my neck. My C 3 was crushed and it's a very dangerous break. The doctors wanted to do surgery immediately on my neck but my arteries/blood vessels in my neck were too badly damaged and the risk of stroke or brain death was too severe. They are waiting six months for my arteries to heal and then they will do surgery on my neck is the plan. I have to live in this brace 24/7 never ever taking it off for the next 6 months. I have to walk with a walker too. My balance is bad and I get dizzy spells all day from the lack of blood flow to my brain. This may or may not be permanent. I can not drive and have to have 24 hour care per the doctors orders. Please pray I don't have a stroke from my damaged arteries and that I don't become paralyzed from my broken neck. Both are 2 HUGE real possibilities!! I think about those possibilities every day and I'm just praying for healing on my body. Thank you for reading, and please pray for me!!
