Tape for Scrapes and Boxes of Sunshine

You're not alone after a random crisis event haults your life, freedom and ability to earn an income. In '05 a car ran me off the road, and I hit a tree.

We provide financial, moral, and step by step planned support through private donors, crowd funding, Sunshine boxes, & resource acquisition. Tape for Scrapes and Boxes of Sunshine are inspired by personal events since 2005-2013. From that accident, I broke my neck at the c5 and crushed the c6. This left me with a fusion from c5-T1 (the first vertebrae in my back) and constant pain. I was also left wearing a halo brace to recover in, which is actually screwed into your head. Things progressed, I recovered well enough to go back to work and live a somewhat normal life around my injury. I was married in '07, and things on all accounts were great. In 2013, everything changed. I was on my way to visit my sister just two hours away for a few days with my 6wk old. A driver fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into. My son was ok, however I was very injured. Among the injuries, I sustained a broken neck again, at the c2/c3, arm, hip, pelvis and femur. After two week in the hospital, several surgeries, and yet another halo I was sent home. I wasn't able to see my baby until day 11 of the stay. That was the worse of all! Word of the accident spread very quickly and so many people, many of whom I didn't know started helping me right away! It is from all the kindness I've seen the past few years that I feel inspired to start this outreach to people. When you are suddenly hurt, your whole life changes in a second. Many people are embarrassed by equipment they might be left with using, such as a walker, wheelchair, crutches, halo, or other medical devices, Many of theses can be personalized, giving you a sense of style and adding your own flare. The most popular and safest way is duct tape. Every service we offer of 100% free of charge, even sending the Boxes of Sunshine! To donate items for events or items, just contact me at my email, jlhellige@hotmail.com, private message me here, or call me at 314-732-5692. If you are in this situation, know you are not alone and there is tons of support out there for you! I am a mom to a busy two year old, so I know how hard it can be to balance tremendous pain and taking care of your family. I've created a support group just for moms in this situation on facebook! Just search, Moms in chronic pain illness to join the community. Thank you to anyone who has shown a kind act towards my family through all the events the past few years. You are the spark to this flame. Lets keep it going!!!!

Can we take a moment to say a Prayer for Josh

On Thursday, August 28th around 7:15am, life changed in an instant for 41yr old Josh Hawks, a loving father, kind-hearted friend, and proud United States Air Force veteran. While riding his motorcycle, in St. Louis County on I-270 North near Olive exit, the unexpected happened — his tire blew out on the highway causing him to be ejected from his bike landing in Southbound lanes of traffic while his bike came to rest in the northbound lanes of I-270. In the blink of an eye, a day like any other turned into tragedy.

Josh suffered a traumatic amputation of his right lower leg, amongst other injuries, as a result of the accident. This life-altering injury has brought overwhelming physical, emotional, and financial challenges.

Josh is not only a dedicated father, but also someone who has always been the first to offer help to others.

There are many reasons why a panic attack would be not be noticed by others. I’ve posted a quick list to help you understand the difference and also to help explain to a person in your life who supports you but may not prioritize and/or fully understand your mental health. If at anytime you feel the anxiety is too much and takes you to a darker side of your thoughts please tell someone. If you can’t or don’t feel comfortable, I am ALWAYS going to welcome a dm, call or text and listen. You all have my love and consistent support! Message me here or call/text 618-484-7702 anytime even middle of the night. 💞💞💞

This is a Sunday night reminder:
1. You matter
2. You are loved
3. You are needed
4. I am so glad your path has crossed mine.
Forever & always - Jess 💞
