One ordinary day changed everything for Jenn. A sudden, devastating fall left her with a broken leg – and a future that felt uncertain. The injury required immediate surgery and a long recovery.
Jenn, a single mother, faced the terrifying reality that she would be unable to work for months. She was now facing the fear and pain of her injury coupled with worries about how she’d keep her family afloat financially.
That’s when a friend stepped in and reached out to the Outer Banks Relief Foundation on Jenn’s behalf. What happened next brought her to tears.
“The response was fast. The process was simple. But most of all, the assistance was the most amazing gift. I received the gift of a secure path forward.”
The Relief Foundation stepped in to cover critical bills, lifting an enormous weight off Jenn’s shoulders. With financial stress eased, she could focus on her recovery and her family’s stability.
“It changed everything. I was able to rest, heal, and make it to every physical therapy appointment without the worry of what would happen if I fell behind on bills.”
Jenn fought hard through recovery. Today, she’s back on her feet – literally – working full time and even playing tennis again. But more than her physical strength, it’s the emotional support that left the biggest mark.
“I’m forever grateful for the help I received and for the community that lifted me up. I did not know the amount of love, warmth, and support that the Relief Foundation gives. Thanks to the Relief Foundation, I now know that even in the darkest moments, we’re not alone.”
