Kristyn Wade is an avid bicyclist in Golden, Colorado. On her way to work on her bicycle this past Wednesday at 8am, Kristyn was struck by a drunk driver. Since arriving at the hospital, she has been in the ICU, initially placed in an induced coma due to brain swelling. Kristyn has already undergone two surgeries: the first to fuse her C1 and C3 vertebrae after damage to her C2, and the second to repair her broken ankle and clean leg wounds. She remains on a ventilator, and her family is preparing for additional procedures, including a tracheotomy and feeding tube, to support her recovery. Kristyn's journey ahead is uncertain, but her family is staying optimistic and taking things one day at a time. The medical bills, rehabilitation, and living expenses are already mounting, and Kristyn is now off work without a paycheck. Her parents, Betty Jean and Don Wade, have traveled from Texas to be by her side in Colorado, and the costs of staying close to Kristyn are significant. While Kristyn does have insurance, the out-of-pocket expenses and long-term care needs will be substantial. As Kristyn's aunt, I want to do everything I can to support her and her family during this challenging time. Please consider donating to help ease the financial burden and show Kristyn how much she is loved. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in her recovery and help her family focus on what matters most—Kristyn's healing and well-being.
