A couple weekends ago one of our Hail Mary listers, photographer Angela Boatwright and her roommate and best friend, Meagan Alwood were returning home when a serious accident occurred resulting in Meagan breaking her pelvis and back. An art benefit auction and raffle with tons of serious goodies is being held in support.
On Friday September 21st after a fun night my roommate, Meagan and myself were returning home when she accidentally fell through an empty space in our building created by a spiral staircase. She fell three stories straight onto a concrete floor, breaking her pelvis and back. Although she is incredibly lucky to be alive she didn’t sustain any internal injuries and will be able to recover fully.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have health insurance and the initial emergency room visit combined with a 13-day stay in the hospital have left her with enormous unpaid medical bills. I have known her for over 23 years, she is my best friend and throughout all of this she has become incredibly strong. She is indescribably grateful and humbled by this art auction.
