About this fundraiser

I never imagined my life would change so drastically after a major car accident left my spine broken. I’ve undergone emergency surgery and now have seven metal rods in my back. While I’m incredibly grateful to be alive, my journey to recovery is far from over. Right now, I’m fighting every day to save my ability to walk again.

This fundraiser will directly support the ongoing cost of my physical therapy and help cover the remaining balance from my emergency surgery. Consistent therapy and follow-up care are critical for my recovery, but the financial burden has become overwhelming. Without continued treatment, I risk losing the progress I’ve worked so hard to make.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to regaining my independence and continuing my medical care. Your support means more than I can put into words—it gives me hope, strength, and the chance to keep moving forward.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me fight for my recovery.
