In December 2025, Katie was a passenger in a tragic car accident resulting in a spinal cord injury. Any donations will go directly to Katie’s ongoing physical therapy sessions and medical bills

Thank you to my friends and family for the continued and unconditional support. And thank you to my sister Abby who has been by my side throughout this journey. I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without her. I am very blessed to have this kind of support and love.

On December 18th, 2025 I was a passenger in a single car rollover accident. I suffered many injuries but the most severe included breaking my L4, L5 on my spinal cord and shattering my pelvis. I was inpatient at Craig Hospital, a well renowned spinal cord rehab center in Colorado for 4 months post injury where I underwent multiple surgeries, treatment, and therapies.

I am now back home in Virginia continuing physical therapy at Sheltering Arms in Richmond.

Due to my SCI, I have partial paralysis in my lower legs/ feet. Although there is no cure yet for spinal cord injuries, I am still very hopeful as I continue to get better and stronger each day. I am grateful to be alive, and I will continue to heal and fight through this recovery.

Abby discovered Help Hope Live and thought this non-profit organization would be a good fit to help aid with my medical bills and expenses. All donations are tax-deductible, and directly help with health care costs, medical bills, accessibility needs, and physical therapy.

Thank you family and friends ❤️ Love everyone. If you’re still reading this, go for a walk today for me and stretch your body!
