Help replacing my phone

After a serious road traffic accident left me with lasting injuries and ongoing difficulties, I’m hoping someone might be kind enough to help me replace my ageing phone with an iPhone 18 Pro Max.

The story

On 26 August 2023, my life changed in a matter of seconds. I was involved in a serious road traffic accident while walking, when a vehicle struck me. I suffered multiple serious injuries, including a skull fracture and brain bleed, fractures to my spine and pelvis, and a badly broken left arm and middle finger. I needed surgery involving metal plates, screws and rods, and it took me around nine months to learn to walk again. Although time has passed, I still live with the consequences of that accident every day. I experience ongoing pain, have difficulty standing and walking for extended periods, and have limited use of my left arm and hand. Some days are much harder than others, and there are times when even getting out of bed is a struggle. The accident has also affected my ability to work and live independently in the way I once did. I’ve had to adapt to a very different life, and everyday things that many people take for granted can be difficult. I’m currently using an older iPhone 11 Pro Max, which is showing its age and has developed problems. I’m hoping to replace it with an iPhone 18 Pro Max. I appreciate that this is a big thing to ask for, and I don’t expect anyone to feel obliged to help. I’m sharing my story because I know there are kind and generous people out there who sometimes like to make a genuine difference in somebody else’s life. Whether someone could help towards the full cost or contribute a smaller amount, I would be genuinely grateful. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Even simply taking the time to understand what I’ve been through means a lot.

  • Reading what your body has been through since that day, the grit it takes to keep going is real. Hoping good things come your way and the hard days grow fewer.

    • Learning to walk again after injuries like yours is an enormous achievement. Hoping your recovery keeps progressing and that daily life gets gentler.

      • Nine months of learning to walk again after injuries like yours took a grit most people never have to find. Praying the hard days ease and something good reaches you.

        • Even getting out of bed some days is a battle, and you keep adapting to a body that changed without asking. May you meet patience and kindness on the hardest mornings.
