On June 30th, 2019, Dana Barrett, born and raised in East Quogue, NY, suffered a severe spinal injury in a tragic pool accident.

After being airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital it was determined she suffered a C2 fracture, resulting in paralysis from the neck down and the inability to breathe on her own. Surgery is imminent to repair the fracture but her spinal cord has been permanently damaged. The doctors have said there is still hope but she will need rehabilitation. The rehabilitation, home renovations, specialized medical equipment and home care will be a considerable financial burden. The road to recovery will take years.

This is a very busy weekend of events for our girl Dana! Thank you to the Westhampton Beach and Riverhead girls volleyball teams for playing their games in honor of Dana on Friday, October 11th.

Dana has seen the pictures and loves it!

Tomorrow, October 13th, from 12-4 head out to Montauk to watch a kiteboarding competition to raise money for Dana and Matt Raynor. Matt is a local HB resident who also sustained a spinal cord injury earlier this year. Thank you Mike, for organizing this event for two very special people!

There will be raffles and prizes!

Also, a very big thank you to Frank, who helped raise $5,000 for Dana’s recovery! Your efforts in supporting Dana are very much appreciated!

My sister suffers from a C3/C4 SCI that happened only a few weeks prior to Dana’s accident. This story hits so close to home for me and I know how much raising funds and getting donations is SO helpful. Sending you strength and prayers on your journey!
