Single mom 3, runover on her way to work
Donation protected
Hi there, my name is Jae, and my friend Areli had a very serious accident yesterday (Dec 14); she was ran over and it was serious enough she had to be transported to a medical center a good 50 miles from where we are (Radford City. Due to the severity of her injuries, she still has no idea how the accident happened because she doesnt remember anythinf...
She was on her way to work in the wee hours of Wednesday 14th, (she bikes from Radford to Dublin because her shift starts at 3a) the last thing she remembers is passing the Sheetz at 1:37a then getting picked up from the side off the road by emts and police around 530a.
Areli has 3 children, as a single mom she has already seen her share of suffering and has singlehandedly kept a roof over her kids heads, food on the table and always a job, always working, her 3 kids are under the age of 16... she has several fractures and no health insurance, she lives like many of us paycheck to paycheck, aside from medical bills, she also has rent to pay, utilities, and all the medical bills that are coming her way... all this without taking into account that is the holidays and this has happened right before Christmas.
Areli is the epitome of putting her children first, excellent work ethic, tackling every obstacle that has been in front of her every single time. She has limited English skills, as i said she doesnt have a vehicle, no excuses coming from her to provide for her family, no excuses!
If you find it in your heart to help her and her children, please contribute any way you can. One dollar at a time, one share at a time, we can show her and her children that we care and they're not alone. There is nothing we can possibly do, to right this tragedy, but we can certainly help her give her peace of mind that she won't lose her place because she didn't pay rent. Or she won't be able to provide for her children. Let's prove her how much she matters!
Thank you,
Ps. This gofundme's funds can only be accessed by Areli and no one else.
