She has lived through the initial news that a loved one is in critical condition and may not survive, the months-long hospitalization, the grueling road to recovery, and the day-to-day struggle to do basic tasks, like putting on clothes. Almara understands the real-life impact that catastrophic injuries have not only on victims but on their family members as well.
