On Aug 18th, 19-year-old Faith Collins fell asleep outside while watching for shooting stars near her home in Alton, MO. In a freak accident, she was run over by a vehicle while she slept.
Faith was life-flighted from the scene to a trauma center in Springfield, MO where she went through major spinal surgery, and is now receiving medical care. As a result of this life-altering accident, she is paralyzed from the waist down.
There is Hope! With her age, healthy history, and with the severity of her injury, she qualifies for the BEST rehab facilities in the country! At one of these facilities, she would be able to work at regaining as much function as possible, and help keep her impacting the world around her with her light!
UPDATE: Faith is currently at Madonna Rehab in Lincoln, Nebraska. Keep praying for her progress…which may take a long time, but the family keeps their faith and remains hopeful.
Faith’s Biography
Faith has been attending college at MSU, works with sustainable farming, is a beekeeper, a champion chess player, plays the violin, rides horses, and even visits her elderly neighbors at Christmastime, on horseback, to deliver them cookies.
The family is asking for assistance with travel expenses to and from Nebraska. All funds raised will be paid directly to Holly Hart for The Parents of Faith Collins Travelling Expenses. You can purchase a shirt online here or pay personally at Simpson’s True Value in Alton. The deadline for purchasing these shirts is October 24.
Please share this and join in this shirt fundraiser (3 different styles) to help come alongside this family for traveling expenses and living costs to see what we can do to help them. And most importantly, please join hands in prayer and #Keepthefaith to help Faith in her journey to recovery
