Support Sheryl Ann Morris's Road to Recovery

On the morning of April 1st, 2025, Sheryl Ann Morris was in a horrific car accident on her way home from working the night shift at Northern Regional Hospital in Surry County, NC. Sheryl was entrapped in her vehicle and flown to Baptist Hospital once freed. After emergency treatment and tests, her family (and later Sheryl) learned the devastating news that she is paralyzed from the chest down with a 5% chance of regaining any function.

Her injuries consist of a 3-column fracture to T4-T5, spinal epidural hematoma, cord signal abnormality, avulsion fracture to the right tib/fib, right foot fracture, rib fractures 2-7 on the right and 6-7 on the left, right-side hemo/pneumothorax, liver laceration, and sternal fracture.

Sheryl is a nurse who goes above and beyond for her patients, friends, and family. To know her is to love her! She gives out of the goodness of her heart, expecting nothing in return. She is also a devoted wife to her husband, Chrystian, and a loving mother to her 17-year-old son, Kaleb.

She is now the one in need of help, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving. She remains positive despite all she has been through, but, as you can imagine, she is going to have a very long road of recovery. On top of medical bills, she faces rehab, home care, and future needs we aren’t even sure of at this point.

I am asking anyone who sees this campaign to please find it in their hearts to help this woman in her time of need. Consider donating to this wonderful lady, sharing this page, and praying for her on her road to recovery.

UPDATE: 4-16-2025

Thank you to everyone who has donated to this campaign so far! Sheryl is so appreciative of all the love and support she’s been given. It’s been just over two weeks. Sheryl has come a long way in that time. She had surgery to repair the complete spinal injury to T4-5 where they fused T2-7 and placed a lot of hardware. She had surgery to her right ankle. She spent her first week in the trauma ICU and has since been on a Stepdown unit. Her chest tube was removed several days ago. She has had involuntary reflexes in her legs, which is normal, but we pray that these could also mean something more.  

The next step will be a rehab facility. She has been accepted at Encompass in Winston Salem and is awaiting insurance approval. She will be transferred soon, possibly today or tomorrow. We are hopeful this facility will help her develop more independence so she can go home. While Sheryl has remained strong through everything she has endured, there are many emotions and fears that are beginning to set in. This is not an easy fix or a quick road to recovery. She has been through so much, but she has so much more to overcome. She is in need of our prayers and support more than ever! Please continue to share her journey. 

There is no donation too big or small. Her medical bills alone will be significant. But she will also need her home modified, a wheelchair, bed, special vehicle, and so much more to meet her basic daily needs.  

Your thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement are being felt. Keep them coming!
