Jamie Maddox

Some of you know, our dear friend, Jamie Cobb Maddox was involved in a serious horse accident on Monday, December 16th, 2013. She was found by her daughters on the ground, in her field at home with her horses. She was not breathing and had sustained serious head trauma. Her daughter Juliette performed CPR on her. Jamie was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Hospital. In addition to a traumatic brain injury, she sustained a mandible fracture, orbital fracture, cranial fracture to the back of her head, and spinal fracture of the C3 and C4 vertebrae. She also has a bruise on her frontal lobe of her brain. She is responding to some commands now by wiggling her toes and the doctors are trying to take her off the ventilator.

Jamie is a wife to Steve Maddox, and mother to two girls Juliette and Weslee Maddox, and grandmother to Mason. Jamie is a wonderful friend to many and a dear, loving soul. We hope to see her doing all the things she loved but know it will be a long journey to recovery.

Thankfully Jamie’s husband Steve has health insurance, but there will be many out of pocket expenses. Anticipated life-time out of pocket expenses for home health care, rehabilitation, doctors’ visits, recovery bases therapies and home modifications can be very high.

To help with the cost of these uninsured medical expenses, a fundraising campaign in Jamie’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. In 2000, they expanded their mission to include those who have sustained a catastrophic injury. All contributions are tax-deductible, and are held by HelpHOPELive in the South-Atlantic Traumatic Brain Injury Fund for injury-related expenses only. Please consider helping Jamie and her family with the immense expenses that will arise.

Thank you so much for helping.
