Eli (3.5), Heidi & Jim
Eli (3.5 years old) and his grandfather (papa), Jim were recently in a bad car accident (from a driver who was speeding and failed to stop at a stop sign) that resulting in Jim’s pelvis fractured in multiple places, hip dislocated and sciatic nerve nearly severed.
Eli is 3.5 and survived the accident seemingly unscathed. He was treated and released by the paramedics and the hospital without my consent and has shown obvious signs of PTSD having witnessed his papa in accrue suffering and having experienced an impact that was so violent it totaled Jim’s car and sent him to the hospital – where he’s been for almost two weeks… Eli is enraged and violent when the incident comes up in conversation, when he feels comfortable and trusting the person visiting and stays long enough to let the anger and distraction pass he describes how ‘papa’s knee hurts.’ Eli likely saw his papa in extreme pain.
Heidi is Eli’s mom, and has been relying on her father, Jim as her ‘co-parent’ as her childcare provider. With Jim’s injury it’s really put Heidi in a tough spot with her employer and her ability to work consistent hours.
What kind of love do they need?
Compassion, kindness, healing energy, silly jokes
Eli cannot read – so pictures/drawings are best
What can you tell me about them?
Jim has been active his whole life through skiing and hiking his whole life. He has now stationary to heal and I’m sure it is so difficult for him.
Heidi is a yoga instructor, a writer, and a loving and kind person.
See the GoFundMe setup to help with Jim’s recovery

Adam loves Pokémon, especially Pikachu. His favorite color is green.
Amelia
She’s been going through a lot lately and needs to know she’s not alone. Amelia is one of the strongest people I know, but I think sometimes she needs to know that she is enough and that no matter what she will be good. She grew up in a family that didn’t know how to raise her, she’s been forgotten about and treated not great. So she needs some love!
What kind of love do they need?
I would say Amelia you are my favorite person in the whole world. Even when I can’t feel my legs, even when I’m exhausted and down and tired you are there for me. You need to know your own worth. It doesn’t come from people expectations of you. It doesn’t come from what you can do for me or others. It comes from who you are as a person inside you. As a person that never gives up no matter what you’ve been through. Keep you head up.
She needs love that is unconditional, accepting and non judgemental. She loves anything Disney and the notebook and toy story 3 is her favorite movies.
What can you tell me about them?
She is a trans woman that has been through the ringer. She has autism. BPD, and other medical conditions. She has a family that does not support who she is and she has put all this effort into being an amazing partner and person despite all that. Her favorite color is teal. Her favorite Disney character is sorcerer Mickey and baby Pegasus from Hercules.

UPDATE 3/7: Parker just recently rang the bell for her last chemo treatment today. Let’s celebrate healing and a path of good health with them!
