The whole story: http://www.nalcbranch908.com/maureen.html
Maureen, 38, a Letter Carrier for 13 years, was delivering her route in Ventnor, NJ (a shore town adjacent to Atlantic City) on July 24, 2006 when the unimaginable happened. She had just finished a relay and was behind her Postal mini van waiting for traffic to clear so she could enter the vehicle when she was struck by an "alleged" drunk driver. He hit her with such force that the van was pushed up onto the sidewalk, with Maureen pinned between the vehicles. The impact severed one leg, the other had to be taken later at the hospital. Off duty fire fighter Kevin Howarth happened to be passing by on his way to the beach when the accident occurred and was able to immediately start first aid and most likely he saved Maureen's life.
An online petition has been started to ask Extreme Home Makeover to build a handicap accessible home for Maureen. Please take a moment to sign the petition and bump this thread so others see it. As of today, 2/21, there are around 6,600 signatures with about 3,400 more needed to reach the goal of 10,000.
