Anastasia and her kids need our help. They were part of a terrible car accident which has left both of Anastasia's feet shattered and her little girl suffering multiple spinal injuries.
She will not be able to bear weight on her feet for months. Her daughter will also be recovering from fractures on cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertabrae, a broken clavicle, torn and stretched ligaments, and cranial nerve palsy to boot which is causing her double vision. Her son broke part of his hand in the accident also.
As hard as these days of being apart from her children will be, with so much pain ahead, the future must seem overwhelming for her.
A widowed, single mother of 2, she was struggling to make ends meet. She decided to go back to school after her husband died. She figured she'd sacrifice in the short term in order to have better longer term prospects. She worked hard for several years and JUST graduated from a 2 year program, with an RMT designation. She had a job interview scheduled for the day after the accident.
Everyone is trying to figure out next steps and determine what resources will be available, but what we do know is Anastasia will need A LOT of help - delivering and/or preparing meals, keeping the fridge stocked, housekeeping, driving the family to appointments, running errands, helping take care of the children
And on top of all of that, there is the mortgage and bills that still need to be paid.
The most incredible thing? Her first day in hospital, she was posting pictures of rainbows from her hospital bed. She is always seeing the good in people and in situations. I don’t want to ever see that amazing optimism be quashed.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Here is news footage about the accident, so you can have a better understanding of the damage.
