On Sunday June 25th Val was in a devastating motorcycle accident.

She was life flighted to Bozeman Health then life flighted to Salt Lake City from there. She is currently in the ICU with extensive injuries including breaks to both her arms and legs, broken ribs, a broken neck, a skull fracture and a broken eye socket (currently monitoring the eye as well). She has had numerous surgeries and is expected to have more. Her recovery is going to be a long expensive process.

We are raising money to help her with her and Vincent’s (her 14 year old son) day to day expenses such as rent, food and car payments along with medical bills and potentially travel expenses for family to be with her. Anything at all helps at this point as she is a single mom and sole provider for her family.

Anyone that knows Val knows how strong and independent she is but right now she needs us! If you can’t help financially please share and watch for other ways to help.

Anyone wishing to donate locally you can drop off to any First Security Bank or Glacier bank under the name Valerie Schaefer Medical Fund.

A local fundraising event is also being planned and any donations or volunteer help is greatly appreciated. Please watch for updates.
