Hello, my name is Amy. I am 42 years old, a single mother of 3 daughters. One is 12 years old and still home with me. On March 9, 2025, I was in a deadly car accident (I was brought back to life 3 times) that threw me through my windshield and off a 250-foot mountain. After I flew over the mountain, there was a part of the guardrail missing that allowed my car to follow me, and my car landed right on top of me. My neck was broken in 3 places, my spine was broken in 9 places, my brain was traumatized by the brain bleeding, and probably how many times and how hard it hit falling down, and my spleen was hemorrhaged. The most important part of my neck was broken twice out of the 3 breaks, and due to that, I am constantly at risk of brain bleeds. Yes, I am suffering in pain at all times. Somehow I was not paralyzed; however, I have nerve damage from my spine in my legs, keeping me from being able to stand or walk longer than a couple of minutes. The parts of my body that were broken, damaged, and bleeding have made it where I can never work again. I also have short-term amnesia, troubled breathing, and wheezing when I talk most of the time. During my surgery, my kidneys were found so damaged my medical papers state I am in kidney failure and have acute renal failure. They also say my heart was hemorrhaging, and I have been put on 16 prescriptions, 2 of which are for heart failure. I have been referred out to so many specialists, I don’t even understand what most mean. But I live 1-2 hours from most of them. During my accident, I lost everything on me, including all money, and was literally in the process of moving. My prior landlord did not care I was in the hospital and broken from head to spine and leg effects and locked the doors before anyone could get most of my items and daughters’ items out of our home, so we lost a lot, including things I could sell to help us financially. My bedroom and life are like living in a hospital because of all the medical equipment I need at home and on my body to be able to survive outside of the hospital. However, insurance only pays for 80%, and I am required to pay the other 20% monthly to keep it. This is on top of keeping our utilities paid and paying people for their time and gas to get me back and forth to all these specialists. Co-pays on each visit and having to pay for some medication insurance does not cover, and co-pays on the ones they do cover. I do not have a large family, only my 3 children (2 of whom have their new children and are trying to make it with their new families) and my 65-year-old sick father who has dementia. I have worked my whole life to take care of my kids on my own until becoming sick with cervical cancer and spent all our savings in that 2 years to take care of my family. Once I moved, I could finally return to work, and in the process of moving, this accident happened that has not only prevented me from working, changed my life, but has caused me to know I need at least 2 more surgeries and have no clue how I can afford to do any of this. My 12-year-old is so worried about me and worried about how I can afford all of this and to keep us together. She cried to me this morning, saying she never wants to lose me, but knowing how much pain I’m in, suffering I’m feeling in my body and heart for us, it would have been less painful for me to have not made it. That is when I knew I needed to try a fundraiser because even though she is right, neither of us deserves to feel this way on top of everything else. I don’t like to ask for help; it’s something I don’t do, and I definitely don’t beg… but I am begging everyone that sees this, reads this, or hears of this fundraiser to please, even if all you can do is donate a dollar, those will add up. Share this on all your social media and tell all your friends and family to please do the rest. I don’t know people because all I have ever done is work and take care of my children, so I have no personal help… please help me get the help we need.
Thank you so much
Amy Jackson ♡
