On August 29th, my girlfriend, Angelina, was in a serious car accident that turned her life upside down. She suffered multiple injuries, including breaking her back in two places and dislocating her jaw. She is now facing a long and painful road to recovery.

Angelina had just started a new job and, like many Americans, didn’t have health insurance yet. Now, she’s facing mounting medical bills, recovery expenses, and the loss of her car—all while trying to heal physically and emotionally.

Angelina is one of the hardest-working, kindest, and most resilient people I know. She’s the type of person who would give the shirt off her back to help a friend, and she’s never been the type to ask for help herself. But right now, she needs us.
