Marcy Maloy Recovery Fund

Donation protected
On Tuesday, September 1st, only a month after her COVID compliant Zoom Wedding, Marcy was taking a walk in Golden Gate Park.  She lost her balance and had a terrible fall from a cement wall and severely damaged her spinal cord. She was immediately rushed to Trauma Center at SF General Hospital and had surgery within 24 hours. She impacted her C4-C7 vertebra, causing partial paralysis in her extremities. Marcy has limited mobility in her shoulders, arms, and left leg, and these areas continue to show very modest improvement. At present, she can not move her fingers. The weeks and months ahead will be instrumental in her recovery. Given the nature of her injury, Marcy will then require extensive physical therapy for at least the next year.
 
On September 12th, Marcy was moved to the premier rehabilitation facility in the Bay area, the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.  Our family was elated that she was accepted at this facility because it is “out of network” from her current medical provider.

Ron, her partner of 12 years, is determined to provide the best medical support for Marcy but now finds the prospective cost to be daunting. Over the next 6 months we will need the following:

1.    In-Home Stairlift ($20,000)
2.    Handicapped-Accessible Van ($35,000).
3.    Electric Wheelchair ($3,000)
4.    At Home Physical Therapy and Nursing Care ($125,000).

No one could have predicted these events. Prior to the accident, both Ron and Marcy’s income had been reduced significantly because of COVID which makes the need to raise funds even more acute.

Marcy has an indomitable spirit; some would say a je ne sais quoi.  She is incredibly kind-hearted and thrives with adversity. So many of you have already reached out to help and we sincerely hope you can aid in her recovery by contributing.

All funds will go directly to Marcy’s medical costs and continued recovery. 

Many Thanks From Marcy's Family,
Alexandra, Hannah, Ron, and Madeline
