Car Accident Recovery Fund for Lauren

Donation protected
On Thursday night 1/9/19 around midnight,  I got into a near fatal car accident. I was driving home from work when I got hit by another driver. I got hit from the passenger side of my car, I lost control of my vehicle and my car swerved on the highway and put my vehicle into a tailspin before hitting a telephone pole. I blacked out after that and don't remember much after that point but apparently, the crash impact of the telephone pole was enough to bounce my car off of the telephone pole and into a couple of trees on someone's front lawn. The person who hit me left drove off and left me there. It was a hit and run.Two people came to my side that night and for that, I am forever thankful. One person called 911 and the other one stayed with me and kept me talking and engaged despite my fading in and out from the accident. I don't really remember much after that. I suffered from multiple bruising throughout my body, cervical spraining, hematoma bruising on my head and I have a concussion. The car is completely totaled and I'm in alot of pain and now have no car which means I am unable to work driving, but I'm so very grateful to be alive. The doctors said I was very lucky to survive. I'm so grateful for God's protection over me that night. I do professional photography full time, but it is event based and not an everyday thing. I did rideshare driving on the side to provide additional income for my family. As of right now I don't think I will be able to do any events until I fully recover and my car is totaled from the accident which means no incoming funds at all. The money I am trying to raise would help with our bills, gas, groceries and any additional medical bills that we may aquire that insurance does not cover. The money would also possibly help me in getting a new car since mine got totaled in the accident. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I would greatly appreciate any donations and prayers as I heal and recover from this and get back on my feet. ❤️
