Hello friends, family, and compassionate individuals,
We’re reaching out with an urgent plea for support for my beloved cousin, Chelsea. On Tuesday, July 8th, Chelsea was involved in a devastating car accident. Doctors later confirmed that the accident was tragically triggered by a brain aneurysm, leading to not only the crash but also a severe closed head injury and a lacerated liver.
Chelsea’s condition is incredibly critical. She’s currently in the ICU unit and has already bravely endured four major, life-saving surgeries: one to repair the aneurysm, another to install a shunt to relieve dangerous pressure on her brain, a third to address the lacerated liver, and a fourth surgery to install a pacemaker. Her medical team is working tirelessly, focused on stabilizing her and treating these most severe, immediate threats. While we don’t yet know the full extent of her injuries or the long-term prognosis, we know Chelsea is facing an extremely challenging and uncertain path to recovery.
This unforeseen and life-altering event has instantly created an immense emotional and financial burden on Chelsea and our family. As she fights for her life in the ICU, she’s unable to work, and the future is filled with unknowns.
We’re humbly asking for your support to help us raise $15,000. Every dollar donated will directly contribute to easing this overwhelming burden during Chelsea’s critical recovery. Specifically, these funds will be used to:
* Cover Chelsea’s lost wages: With an extensive and uncertain recovery ahead, Chelsea will be unable to work, making these funds vital to maintain her stability.
* Support her son: Chelsea’s son, who lives at home and is set to begin college this fall, relies on her. These funds will help ensure his essential needs are met and his educational future isn’t derailed by this sudden crisis.
* Alleviate mounting unexpected expenses: While our immediate focus is on her survival, the costs associated with such severe, long-term medical care, rehabilitation, and unforeseen needs are daunting.
Your generosity will allow Chelsea and our family to focus entirely on her healing, without the crushing weight of financial stress. No donation is too small, and every share of this campaign makes a significant difference.
Please keep Chelsea in your thoughts and prayers. We’ll provide updates on her progress as we learn more.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
