Help Support Taylor’s Recovery After a Life-Changing Accident

On August 7, 2025, Taylor’s life changed in an instant. She was involved in a devastating car accident that left her with severe spinal injuries. Due to the seriousness of her condition, she was airlifted to Colorado Springs, where she is now receiving intensive medical care.

Taylor has already undergone multiple surgeries, including a spinal fusion with a cadaver bone and stabilizing bolts, and she still faces more procedures ahead. She is currently unable to use her legs and will require a long and challenging rehabilitation journey to regain as much independence as possible.

Before the accident, Taylor was preparing to leave for college on a scholarship to ride horses and compete in rodeos — a lifelong dream. Now, instead of starting her first semester, she is beginning the fight of her life.

The road ahead will be filled with physical and emotional challenges, months of therapy, and extensive medical expenses. Your support will help ease the financial burden on Taylor and her family so they can focus on her recovery and healing.

Whether it’s through a donation, sharing this page, or keeping Taylor in your thoughts and prayers, every gesture of kindness means the world.
