Rehabilitation Fund for Jenny

On October 16th, 2021, my 20-year-old sister, Jenny, was seriously injured in a horrific car accident where her vehicle was hit head-on by another vehicle. She had to be life flighted to the nearest level 1 trauma medical center where she is currently in critical condition. Her injuries are severe and will alter her life forever. In the last 3 days she has undergone surgeries to remove her ruptured spleen, repair multiple breaks in both of her legs, pelvic bone and shattered foot, a tracheostomy procedure, and facial reconstruction of her jaw, nose, and cheek bones. Currently she is heavily sedated and may not be able to speak or move for several weeks. We are unsure of what her mobility will be like in the future and are preparing for years of rehabilitation.

Jenny is the strongest person I know and, unfortunately, is all too familiar with hospitals. She was born with cystic fibrosis (CF) and it’s truly a miracle that her compromised lungs were not injured in the crash. She has had too many hospitalizations to count throughout her young life and has come out of each one fighting harder. Jenny never let CF hold her back and was pursuing a career in photography. She has established herself as a well-respected ‘space-coast’ photographer, shooting her beloved Space X, NASA, and ULA rocket launches and booster returns. As a family, we are staying strong for Jenny and will do everything in our power to support the long journey ahead of her.

Any funds raised here will go directly to Jenny’s medical and rehabilitation costs. We appreciate the outpouring of love, prayers, and support during these difficult times and I will provide updates on her journey here.
