Rebecca Knepper

On Thursday November 5, 16-year-old Rebecca was thrown from a horse and suffered severe injuries including 10 fractured ribs, 2 punctured lungs, a broken vertebra, a broken arm, a broken scapula and a severed spinal cord (at L2). Her injury is permanent and she has a long road ahead of her as she learns to adapt to her new situation.

Rebecca is the daughter of Jenni and Mark Knepper. She has two older siblings, Emily and Andrew, and four younger ones, Bethany, Jillian, Angie and Hannah. Rebecca is a sweet, caring girl who loves horses, loves to draw and likes to be helpful with her younger sisters. Rebecca is home schooled and together with her family, is active in her church.

A catastrophic injury can bury a family in bills There will be a number of significant expenses associated with bringing Rebecca home including accessibility modifications to the family’s home (widening hallways and doorways, adding ramps, making an accessible bathroom, purchasing furniture/equipment), transportation (a used handicap accessible van is $55,000), and specialized therapies. Please help ease this transition by donating generously.
