Support Vaccara's Recovery from Severe Injuries
Donation protected
- On July 27th, 2024, I was walking home from work when I was struck by a motor vehicle as I was leaving work. As a result of this accident I sustained eight fractures in my back, a broken pelvis, a hematoma to my right hip, internal bleeding, blood clots to my left, extensive nerve damage throughout my entire body and a broken toe.
I finally went to court nearly a month after the accident to see the man that hit me, only to find out that Omar didn't have any insurance.
- I watched as him and his girlfriend sat there as he didn't do any wrong, but Omar very much altered my life. Omar was arrested for driving without insurance, failure to reduce speed, and failure to reduce speed causing bodily harm, but was allowed to bond out of jail.
I'm definitely going to need help with my medical bills and physical therapy to ensure I get back to where I was in my life. I also have a video where he ran me down like a rabid dog! Omar didn't try to stop nor avoid hitting me! Omar drove right through me like someone out of the video game GTA. It's been almost a month and I can't work and since this has happened which caused me to get behind on a lot of my bills, because I live alone. I really need help! Omar also came to court with a lawyer for his protection and yet I'm the victim and i feel as though all he got was a slap on the wrist.
I'm trying to heal and as I struggle every day with the little things such as brushing my teeth because it hurts so bad. Omar gets to walk normally, and go about his life. Omar hit me at 60 miles an hour and I flipped and hit his windshield and landed on my right side! I have to wear two boots, a back brace, and a walker just to do my day-to-day activities. The eight fractures start in my vaginal region all the way to the bottom of my spine and my pelvis is broken on the right side of my body which is completely out of place! I have to see a pelvic specialist, spine specialist, and a hematoma specialist, because my right hip is permanently deformed.
I take four different narcotics every day which mask the pain but it's not helping much! The doctors won't perform the surgery because where my spine is damaged by my sacrum can damage me even more to where I can be paralyzed for the rest of my life!
I'm thankful and grateful to be alive and I believe anything will help me! So please, if you can and God willing, please help me! Thank you all for anything you can do!
Love, Vaccara
