On the evening of 12/22, I was involved in a hit and run accident while riding my bike down Mills Ave. A vehicle struck me and left the scene, throwing my life into sudden chaos amidst the holidays.
As a result of the crash, I suffered multiple injuries, including broken front teeth, a dislocated left elbow, facial injuries, and extensive bruising to my arms and legs. I’m currently dealing with significant pain and have difficulty eating and drinking. The physical recovery has been overwhelming, and the financial burden that comes with it has added even more stress during an already difficult time.
I will need help covering medical expenses, attorney fees, and future dental work, including tooth implants. At this point, I don’t yet know the total cost of treatment and recovery, but I know it will be substantial. Any amount—no matter how small—would mean the world to me and help ease the weight of these unexpected expenses.
I have filed a police report and am working to obtain surveillance footage from nearby businesses in hopes of identifying the person responsible. While I remain hopeful for justice, my immediate focus is healing and getting back on my feet.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story, for sharing if you’re able, and for any support you can offer. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.
— With much gratitude, Dora
