My name is Sky, and I’m the mother of a beautiful little girl named Nova. She’s my whole world. I’m asking for help because I don’t have insurance, and I am unable to work now to provide basic needs for my daughter and I at this time.

Right now, I can’t even pick her up. I can’t walk without crippling pain. I can’t be the mom my baby knows, needs, and loves.

June 28th 2025, I was in a devastating accident on the way home from work. I was thrown from the truck I was in. I landed more than 200 feet away on the highway. I also have bruises from being run over. I remember waking up in the hospital, in pain, completely broken and confused screaming help me.

The damage to my body is severe.

I broke five ribs on my right side. One of them punctured my lung, which made breathing difficult and painful. My clavicle on my right side was shattered and required emergency surgery to place a metal plate and screws to hold it together. I also fractured my left clavicle. I fractured my pelvis in multiple places and also broke my sacrum and right SI joint. My lumbar spine is fractured, including L5, which means my lower back is unstable and fragile. I have a pulmonary contusion, meaning my right lung is bruised and struggling. There is deep tissue damage and inflammation throughout my body. I cannot stand without excruciating pain. I cannot sit up on my own without holding something. My pain is constant and overwhelming. I can’t be the mother I want. 

The truth is, this is going to take months, if not years, to recover from. I’ll need physical therapy to relearn how to sit, stand, and eventually walk. There will likely be more surgeries. I’ll need mobility aids, help at home, and continued medical care. I will not be able to return to work for a long time.

I’m a single mom with no income right now because of this accident. I don’t know how I’m going to pay rent, keep the lights on, afford food, or make sure Nova has what she needs. I’ve never been in a position like this, and asking for help is hard, but I have no other option. If you know me, then you know I’m not one to ask for help like this and try to figure it out for me and my baby, but this completely changed my life. Her grandparents have been a big help in making sure she is okay while I’m in the hospital. But I just need to recover and get stable for my precious baby girl.

The funds from this will help cover:

• Ongoing medical expenses and surgeries

• Rent and utilities while I recover
  
• Childcare and basic needs for Nova
  
• Transportation to follow-up appointments and physical therapy
  
•  Medical equipment and in-home care during recovery
  
• Physical therapy as out of pocket is to expensive 
  

My daughter birthday is also August 25th, and I have no idea how I’m gonna make it magical yet after all of this. I can’t even hold her for her birthday because it’s to early according to doctors all I can do is be there. 

Thank you for reading and please consider sharing if you’re unable to donate. Thank you for all the prayers. Thank you again for supporting me as I grow and recover strong enough to reunite with my baby permanently and hold her again.
