On Friday August 8th, Elizabeth Cardenas (Eli), a 21 year old University of Oregon student and aspiring lawyer, was struck by a car while riding her bike. She suffered multiple broken bones and a severe traumatic brain injury.

We’re asking for your support to help ease the financial burden on her family so they can focus on what matters most, Elizabeth’s recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference.
