GER: Bitte hilf der 13 Jahre alten Emily und ihrer Familie mit den Transportkosten zum Krankenhaus und zurück und damit sie ihr Zuhause blindengerecht einrichten können! Emily's Story: On October 6th Emily's life changed forever.
She was involved in a freak accident while doing her favorite thing in the world: walking her beloved pony. She and an adult with a horse were taking one of these walks in the woods, when out of nowhere the horse kicked her in the face. Emily instantly fell to the ground. As she she woke up, her face already started to swell up. The kick completely shattered her nose and upper jaw.
Her right eye was ripped apart and her left eye was severely hit too. She was bleeding heavily out of her mouth and nose by the time I her mother got there. Time stood still as I knelt down beside her waiting for the ambulance.
Minutes felt like an eternity and I started screaming for help while Emily gasped for air. Finally the ambulance arrived, they loaded her up and off we went to the nearest hospital. They did the initial exams in the shock-room and decided to fly her straight to the university clinic in Mainz. She was sent to the eye clinic where she underwent a 10 hour surgery on her right eye.
