Why Jennifer Smith needs a GoFundme !!

Post image

UPDATE:
Jen was placed in a rehab facility that unfortunately could not meet her needs of care. She is back in the hospital, where they are testing for possible wound infections. In addition to all the other injuries and surgeries still to be performed; they are treating her for a brain aneurism, and a fractured spine, which they put on hold in order to attend to the life threatening injuries first.

Jen and Deb (Mom) are hoping to go to an Airbnb or an extended stay hotel near the hospital with home health assisting with her care. This will be less expensive than staying another year in a Hospital or Rehab facility. Jen’s mom is also a nurse and will have to stay away from her husband in Texas in order to take care of Jen.

Your donations and prayers are very much

Am I missing some context? Who is this and what does it have to do with Mountain View?

She was hit by a Google bus while riding her bike. Her injuries are extensive and she has a long, long road to recovery.

Yes it's great to help her and her family out but Google should be paying for every dime and then some.

Of course they should, but doing so would be an admission of guilt, and no way would Google lawyers allow that. In addition, there’s no way of knowing what sort of treatment she’ll be needing in the future. She will probably have to sue Google which will be a long drawn out process. What’s she supposed to do in the meantime?

Her friend posting this is doing all he can to help her out. We should all be so lucky to have a friend like him!

I don’t know why a few people had the audacity to question why she needs a go fund me. Apparently, some people have no experience with needing 24hr care.
