Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out during one of the most difficult times in my life. On March 16, 2026 — my daughter’s birthday, our lives changed unexpectedly when I was involved in a serious car accident that left me with multiple injuries.
I suffered a fractured right wrist along with fractures to my spine, including my T12, L1, L2, and L3 vertebrae. Recovery has been physically painful and emotionally challenging, and I’m still unable to return to work as I continue treatment, attend medical appointments, and focus on healing.
As a parent and the sole provider for my child, this situation has placed an enormous financial strain on us. Without being able to work, I’m doing everything I can to stay afloat while making sure my child has what she needs.
Asking for help is not easy for me, but right now I truly need support while I recover and rebuild. Any donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward helping us cover essential living expenses and allowing me the time I need to heal properly.
If you’re unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser would also mean so much to me.
Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult chapter in our lives.
With gratitude,
Melissa R.
