On October 21, 2011, tragedy struck the Mowery family. The two youngest daughters were walking in a crosswalk with their best friend and her older sister, as well as their older sister, when a 78-year-old driver did not see the crosswalk. She went around the stopped cars and struck the three youngest girls. Rain and Mia were thrown over 80 feet. Alyssa was carried on the hood of the car for 143 feet before being thrown off and tumbling across the asphalt.
Rain was released from the ICU after three days with a skull fracture and brain bleed. A few hours later, Mia died from her injuries. Alyssa was on life support and in the ICU for five weeks. She was then in the rehabilitation hospital for another five weeks, where she learned how to move, eat, crawl, walk and talk again.
Although Alyssa has made tremendous improvements, and she truly is a miracle, she has a long road to recovery ahead of her. She suffered brain damage which has manifested in a regression to a toddler state, she no longer understands what is inappropriate or dangerous, and she has short-term memory loss. She often repeats the same phrases and questions hundreds of times per day.
Alyssa requires 24/7 care and attention, which prevents her mom from working outside the home. This has caused extreme financial hardship, as she is now a single mother of six children. She recently lost her vehicle, because the finance company wouldn't work with her. They are also facing eviction and disconnections on their utilities. They desperately need your help.
Your contributions will help this family purchase a reliable vehicle to transport Alyssa to her numerous weekly therapy and treatment appointments. Your contributions will also help them with meeting their basic needs, as well as the long-term medical needs for Alyssa. You have a chance to make a difference in this family's lives...please take this opportunity to show them you care and they are not alone.

Hi John,

I am a homeopath and for the past years I've had great success in treating concussions (www.concussioncure.webstarts.com). I think I can help Alyssa with her condition. If you can talk to her mother, and she agrees, please let me know.
