We received the following notice from the Friends of Jennifer:
Jennifer Bobzin was in a serious accident with a tractor trailer on Monday, October 20, 2008 around 1 p.m. She was put into a coma by the doctors to perform a Bifrontal Craniectomy (part of her skull cap was removed to make room for swelling of the brain), the surgery was finished around 730 p.m. Monday night. The injuries sustained in the accident were mainly to her face and head. She has several facial fractures and trauma to her head/brain, with bleeding.
Jennifer was transferred to St. Mary’s Brain Injury Unit on November 13th for rehabilitation. She is doing well and has even progressed to being able to come home for occasional day visits.
Jennifer is a single mom, and recently purchased her first home for herself, her mother and her boys. Due to the accident and the extent of her injuries, the financial situation is poor.
In an effort to help with the many medical and everyday expenses, her friends have planned a benefit dinner and concert for
January 24, 2008. The benefit will feature four live bands, dinner, a Chinese auction, door prizes, raffles and a live auction as well. We are planning on about 400 people. We are currently seeking donations from area businesses for items to use in the auctions and raffles. We are also looking for donations of food items or monetary donations to offset the cost of the dinner.
For more information you can check out the websites that have been set up for Jennifer. www.caringbridge.org/visit/jenniferbobzin is the website that has been tracking her progress with daily updates and a guestbook that can be signed, and www.myspace.com/jamminforjen has been set up to promote the benefit. Businesses will be promoted on the my space website as well as area radio stations and newspapers.
If you need to contact someone, please feel free to call Jennifer’s sister Shari at 585-813-7675. Donations can be mailed to Shari Loewke at 6664 Townline Road Byron, NY 14422.
Thank you,
Friends of Jennifer
