I posted before but it is gone.So I am not sure if I did it wrong or not ?

My 17 year old was in ahead on collison that was her fault.She was not on drugs nor drinking.she was hurt pretty bad.,and
needs alot of medical attention. I was torn apart by some people that said I should not ask for money for her because the accident was her fault.

So am I wrong or right ?

let me change my answer.

Your first post, and probably your second post will be removed because you are not allowed to post personal websites here.
Particularly ones where you are asking for money, or selling something.

You are allowed to post general questions however. Just keep the personal sites off your post or they will be deleted.

How old is your daughter? If she is young and has a financial need to help cover the medical bills then I would say that you should ask. Young people especially can make costly mistakes like crossing the yellow line while turning the radio station. That does not mean they should be judged harshly or made to suffer huge medical bills. I think I would have to know more about what happened to make people say you should not help her. Can you tell more?

You are wrong. I feel sorry for your daughter having been in an accident, but what gives you the right to ask for money to pay for her medical
needs?

You said, your daughter caused the accident herself, what about the
other car(s) involved? Did anyone else get injured due to your daughter's
fault?

Friends of mine lost their lives in a car accident last year, and left
3 small children behind. None of the family members ever asked for money - although a fund was set up for the children by friends and relatives.

Again, I feel compassion for your daughter, but none for you. On the
contrary, it is in very poor taste what you're doing.

okay, I understand now.

Actually, EAngel, your daughter is lucky that none of the others involved
got hurt more than they did, otherwise your daughter would face far
more than her own medical bills.

Well, I think you are an irresponsible parent, if you let your
daughter drive with passengers in the car. It is common law everywhere
in the US that minor drivers are not allowed any other passengers in
the car but adults.

Furthermore, if you let your daughter drive a car, why don't you provide
adequate health coverage for her?

EAngel, I think you are doing the right thing. If people do not want to help and want hold something against your daughter when it could have just as easily been their teenager, then they do not have to help.

Those that know your daughter and know that it could have been their teenager that made one mistake will be compassionate. Tell her to be strong and everything will work out for her and your family.

There are so many things you can do, EAngel. Instead of going to
online forums soliciting money, you could hold a bake sale in your
town. Bake some cookies and sell them, hold a rally to benefit your
daughter, and so on and so on.

Going online and soliciting money is certainly not generating the
monetary help you sought.

This is a Struggle
I see that there are mix answers. The reason i posted the website unaware your not suppose to was so people cold read the story and what is ans was going on.I love my child very much all my kids in fact.But i have faced a lot people saying it was plain out wrong to ask for help for her.i have even ahd peolpe say she got what she deserved.I can't help but thnk who has not made a mistake? if she had been high i would understand some peoples reaction.But the thing is she lost control of the car. in a curve and she did take the worse of the accident she has some problems an a steel plate in her jaw though there was 5 other involved she took the worse everyone else in back to tere life.She says she never what to drive again in her life.She punctured a lung and bruised her heart.And she also has has nero problems I am doctored out and they are already hounding me for bills

You are talking about the website ? Because I am not asking for money here.I am trying to understand the negative replys to trying to help her and a bake sell would not help her she has bill that go into 6 figures.and some doctors say they cannot go any further without money.

I assume you are in the USA if you are having these troubles. I have no problems with you asking for money, if people want to give they will give. If they don't want to give they won't.

If you are being chased for bills you need to speak to the financial aid department at the hospital and see if they will arrange a monthly payment plan. The hospital knows they are better off getting a little each month than having you go bankrupt. The biggest problem you will have will be doctors and therapists who will refuse to treat her, or only give her inferior attention, because your family does not have the money to pay. If she needs medication she might not be able to purchase it without cash up front. You might want to speak to your state's Medicad office and see if you qualify for help. I hope things get better for you and your daughter.
