Mask Up

A creative mask auction to benefit the Kimberly & Andy Fund.

On Tuesday, August 18th, Kimberly and her husband Andy were out for their routine evening stroll near downtown Natick when a blue pickup truck jumped the curb and ran them over, driving them into a wooden fence. A piece of the wood from from the fence impaled Kimberly through the chest. In haste to flee the scene, the driver of the truck backed over Kimberly, crushing both of her legs, and took off at a high rate of speed.

The last year has been a very special one for Kimberly and Andy. A couple very much in love, they decided to get married, doing so on the "Tunnel of Love" at the train station in Natick Center. They had also saved enough money together from both their jobs that they were able to purchase a modest home, also in Natick.

What Kimberly and Andy need now is time to heal without the stress of financial burdens such as unreimbursed medical expenses. And Kimberly's convalescence is going to be extensive, and may include the cost of a prosthetic leg.

There has been a generous outpouring of support so far. Their home will need extensive renovations to accommodate a wheelchair and other accessibility issues. With the hope to make Kimberly's and Andy's journey back to health and wholeness a smoother one, this auction was created.
