Life after being hit by a car

$4,005 of $25,000 goal
Given by 45 generous donors in around 4 months

To support Chelsea in navigating life with her four wonderful children and becoming the best version of herself as an amputee.

Canterbury

Hello everyone,

It's been a little while, but if you're like me, after donating to someone, you often wonder, "How are they doing now?"

So, here's an update on Chelsea’s journey….

Since 2021/2022, Chelsea has faced countless challenges, undergoing multiple surgeries and making incredibly tough decisions. After many long nights of reflection, she's recently made one of the hardest choices yet: to amputate her leg above the knee.

Despite all of this, Chelsea’s strength and resilience continue to amaze everyone around her. She’s approaching this new chapter with a level of determination that is truly inspiring.

To stay connected with her journey, Chelsea has created an Instagram where she’ll be sharing both the highs and lows of this next step in her life.

We’ve raised funds for Chelsea and her beautiful family before, and with ongoing costs, we're reaching out to the wider community again for your continued love and support.

If you're new to Chelsea's story, I've included a link to the previous fundraising page for more background.

Thank you for your continued kindness and support.

We recently held a special fundraising event which brought together a wonderful group of supporters. A number of people have asked about making a donation, so I have reopened the page for anyone still wishing to contribute.

Since the page was first opened, there is now the possibility of surgery happening this coming Wednesday. I will share another update as soon as I know more.

Thank you again for your support — it really means a lot.
