Support James, Olive and Sam after tragic injury
Donation protected
My name is Teresa Jackson and I am raising funds on behalf of my daughter, Samantha, her fiancé, James and their daughter Olive due to a medical emergency.
James was born with osteogenesis imperfecta brittle bone disease, also known as OI. While he has managed this the best he can throughout his life, he has had countless broken bones, been in a wheelchair at certain periods, full body casts and most recently he had an accident with his daughter that has left him unable to provide for his family, and he is the sole provider.
- While playing at the park with his daughter, Olive, she fell from the place set into his arms and they both were injured, breaking her arm and breaking his neck in several places. Sam rushed them to the hospital, but due to the severity of the injuries, St Anthonys hospital had him airlifted to Springfield. He broke the C7 vertebrae in his neck.
Olive broke her arm, but she is expected to make a full recovery.
I am trying to raise money for their living expenses for the uncertain months to come. He is still hospitalized, and we don't know how long he will be out of work, if he'll be able to go back to work, or what type of care will be needed.
Any money raised will be going directly to the family- gas expenses to and from the hospital, utilities and rent over the next couple months, and anything else to keep them afloat while they make it through this difficult time.
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
If you are unable to provide financial help, we always appreciate prayers And please reach out to me if you would like to bring them a meal or anything like that.
