Support Needed: Father Hit While Working At Church

Donation protected
Hey Everybody,

My name is Jasmine Adams.
My father, James Adams, has two jobs to support our family and one is a security officer for his church.

Two weeks ago as he was setting out cones in the median, on the road in front of the church, a car going 50mph hit him, pinning him against a parked church van. He suffered a broken fibula in one leg and a compound fracture in the other, meaning his bone broke through his skin. As a diabetic recovery is that much harder for him. He is in extreme pain. While my father remains in the hospital under care my mother has not left his side. As his eldest child and mother of 2 under 2 my family is now relying on me. And I want to do everything in my power to support my family and would like to call on my community for that extra support.

My father is my hero. He has always taken care of me.

I remember when he saved quarters, nickels, and dimes for a whole year just to buy me the piano I wanted SO bad for Christmas.

He is the sweetest guy you’ll ever meet. That’s why it pains me to see him the way he is now.

My dad did his best trying to be the sole provide for his family and all I want to try to do is return the favor.

My mom has been at the hospital EVERYDAY since it happened. She said to me “In the 23 years we’ve been together and ALL the things I’ve been through, he has never left my side, so I’m not leaving his.” The only reason she hasn’t been sleeping at the hospital is because in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit the visiting hours are from 8-8.

So I’m doing my best as a mother of 2 under 2 to make sure that his transition into a new lifestyle is as smooth as possible.

He took care of the rent, car payments, and created a comfortable livelihood for us.

My dad handled everything, so I’m doing what I need to do to make sure when he comes home he has nothing to worry about.

The funds raised will be going towards his rent, his car payments, his medical bills, and to bills that keep the house running .

Please find it in your hearts to donate and repost.

Given this economy I know everyone is in a bind, so if a simple repost is all you can do I’ll be forever indebted to you. Thank you in advance for the love and support ❤️
