Hello everyone,
My name is Ryan and I'm starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my friend and colleague, Kati. Our line of work being para educators for students with high behavioral autism. And due to the nature of the people we work with to enrich their lives it at times is very dangerous and can lead to very serious injuries even with the safety plans we have in place. Unfortunately on Tuesday, she was injured while trying to help one of our students work through a crisis. She will be out for the remainder of our school year and needs our help so she doesn't need to stress about bills and food. I encourage everyone to donate to this amazing person and help her get back on her feet! Update: Kati has given me permission to share with everyone the details of her injury and surgery. on Tuesday while helping one of our students during a crisis. They tackled her to the ground causing her Tibula and Fibula to snap in a compound fracture which broke through the skin. on Wednesday she had surgery where they placed a rod through her knee down to the ankle with pins and screws reconfiguring her leg and adding extra support. As of today 4/27 she is still in the hospital doing PT until doctors clear her to go home. we are hoping that will be tomorrow! I want to thank everyone who has donated already and hope more will donate so we can reach our goal!
