Donna Wrecked her knee; Expense help needed!
Donation protected
Donna Ouellette Austin tried to enjoy a few hours on the Quechee Ski hill with her friends when disaster struck. Unfortunately, she fell awkwardly, and her knee was blown out. Immediately, the implications of those few seconds started to accrue.
Her job working as a nanny to young children who need lifting and care was paused. Insurance does not cover the full cost of getting medical treatment and repairing her knee; the deductibles are incredibly high. The recovery needed to return to work nannying for her young family is 6-8 weeks.
All of the expense for living and medical treatment doesn't stop because she's injured. They keep coming in dollar figures that are incredibly hard to afford without income.
Donna needs our help. In the next few months, the expenses will be difficult to absorb without debt or worse. Few people are more thoughtful and giving than Donna, and she'd never ask for help from any of us. However, any assistance we provide to Donna will be invaluable.
Please help her get through this unfortunate injury and emerge with a healthy body and spirit.
