Emergency Fund for CC

Donation protected
Dearest MABRA,

Our very own Chandra Consuella suffered a horrible cycling accident during a race on March 10, leaving her hip shattered and spirit broken. After being rushed to the emergency room, she underwent consecutive surgeries in the hours and days following her accident.  

Chandra, better known as CC, is a mother, daughter, friend, cyclist, and advocate. She has helped encourage women and girls of all ages to express themselves through cycling; knowing the importance of providing access to positive outlets within our communities. By turning youth to cycling and teaching them to stick with it, their life trajectory is often dramatically improved; helping to shape the next generation of leaders.

Currently CC is hospitalized, and it's a real possibility that her stay will extend beyond this week. While the details are still unclear, one thing is very clear: CC will need a ton of support for the next year as she recovers. 

During this time, we ask all within our great cycling community to come to her aid in hopes of easing the physical, emotional, and financial burden as she moves through an intensive ambulatory care program over the next year.

Even with insurance, the financial hardship will be insurmountable. In addition to assisting with medical expenses, we hope to provide enough support to maintain the basic necessities for her household. CC provides a solid foundation for her family; supporting not only her two young children, but also her dear mother. Our help is imperative during this time so she can focus on healing.

Our goal is to grant at least $1000 a month towards new expenses incurred by the accident. This amount will not cover all of CC's new expenses, but will contribute towards the following:
Prescriptions
Doctors Visits
Physical Therapy
Medical Equipment
Childcare
Transportation
Household Modifications
And extra assistance such as:
Cleaning Services
Grocery/Meal Delivery
Increased Utility Costs
Other Incidentals

It really takes a village, and any contributions will have a lasting impact on this family. We understand not everyone can contribute monetarily, so please let us know if you can offer support in other ways.

Of course, any thoughts, prayers, shares, and all around good vibes are welcome and needed! Thank you for the consideration and support as we try to put the pieces back together here.

Much Love,
Team CC
