Chatham's Alexandra Robinson, 41, was walking her daughter, Annabelle, to daycare when the two were hit in the crosswalk at Main Street and Coleman Avenue on Dec. 22.
The driver — a 22-year-old man from Gaithersburg, Maryland — was issued traffic summonses for careless driving and failure to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk and released at the scene.
Annabelle was taken to the hospital with a concussion, while her mother suffered a shattered leg, a broken elbow and a lacerated liver, among other injuries that required surgery, according to a GoFundMe created by Bella Migliozzi for the family’s ongoing expenses.
“Alex also had to spend Christmas alone in the hospital with no visitors due to COVID-19 regulations, and Annabelle, still recovering from her concussion, spent Christmas without her mother,” reads the fundraiser, which had garnered nearly $34,000 as of Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Robinson is continuing treatment at a rehabilitation facility “for an extended period of time,” the fundraiser says.
The profits from the GoFundMe will be used for transportation, childcare and “other incidentals,” the page says.
