August 20, 2022 — The day that changed my life and will stay with me as a traumatic memory forever.

I just traveled back to my hometown from Texas three days prior. I was due to give birth to my first child in November 2022, and my mother was throwing a baby shower for the following day, August 21, 2022.

It was a very hectic and busy morning prepping for the following day. My mom stopped at her dance studio then was planning on picking cookies up for my shower. Then I received a call. This was a call no child would ever want to have to answer.

When the police arrived at the scene she was unconscious with her vehicle on her. Everyone expected that she was no longer with us. She was finally rushed to the hospital with a brain bleed and other injuries. By the grace of God, I am so thankful to say, that my mother made it through the worst, but the recovery portion isn’t even close to being over.

Almost 6 months later, and her memory isn’t what it was (and still isn’t 100% yet), she is forgetting things, has pain on a daily basis, her speech has changed, she’s moving slower, goes to therapy, doctors appointments and has so many medical bills.

On top of all that, she was terminated from her long-time employment, because she no longer had any sick time available to cover her leave. She doesn’t deserve to suffer more than she did on August 20th. Which is why I made this gofundme for her. To ease some of her worry, so all she has to focus on is fully healing and getting better everyday.

If you know me, you know I am very family-oriented and extremely close with my mother. I couldn’t imagine my life without her and I hope I won’t have to for a very long time. What was supposed to be the day before a very special milestone in our lives, ended up becoming our worst nightmare. It was very hard to focus on being happy and all of the shower guests when the one person I needed most couldn’t be there with me. I had a hard time celebrating, when all I wanted to do was go and be by my mother’s side.

Everyday after the accident has been unpredictable; she has good days and bad days. All I want is for my mom to feel better and not have to worry about medical bills and other financial obligations. If I can help ease some of those burdens, I will do whatever it takes.

If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all truly such blessings in our lives. To those who cannot, please just share! Thank you for your kindness and prayers!
