Kindness of Our Hearts Donation Drive- Please help!

 

Hello Friends! Thanks for stopping by!

Many times in life, something happens that reminds us not to take life for granted. On Friday June 7th, that reminder hit me very close to home.

 

 On Thursday around 3:30 in the afternoon, my good friend and 1st grade teammate, Kathy, was driving down a rural 2 lane road in her pickup truck. The road conditions were not very good, due to rain from Tropical Storm Andrea. She was towing her horse to take it for some routine care. On the opposite side of the road as she was approaching, there was a car waiting to make a left hand turn. Behind that car was an armored truck approaching. The armored truck went to apply his brakes and slid into her lane hitting the front of her truck.

The impact sent Kathy into a ditch, flipping her truck and horse trailer.

Sadly, the impact of the accident killed her beloved horse, Valentine, whom Kathy loved as she does her own children.

 

 

Kathy suffered many serious injuries from the accident as well, which includes 2 broken legs, a skull fracture, a brain bleed, a broken rib,  shattered joint in her knee, damaged vertebrae (L4), and broken arm/elbow. She had to be cut out of her truck because she was trapped from the impact. She is currently in ICU and has had a few surgeries already on her leg and elbow. Kathy has a LONG road ahead with lots of physical therapy. Here are some pictures of this tragic accident... she is lucky to be alive.

Kathy is a beautiful person inside and out. She is an amazing teacher with such a love for all of her students. Kathy is also an amazing friend. Anytime I need someone to listen, she has always been there for me and for anyone who needs them. Kathy is a fighter...she has had her share of heartache and difficulty over the past year. Her 2 year old grandson was diagnosed with leukemia back in August. She was a rock for her family as they endured this illness. I wish you could know her. She is just a wonderful person who needs our help!
