A GoFundMe page has been created to support 16-year-old Bella McKechnie, a Polk County senior severely injured in a rollover accident on Highway 26 this past August. Bella was ejected from her family’s truck and suffered life-threatening injuries, including fractures, a partially collapsed lung, and significant dental damage. After multiple surgeries, she is now wheelchair-bound and undergoing intensive physical and occupational therapy, with a strong determination to regain her independence and return to horseback riding.

Bella’s family faces mounting medical and dental bills as insurance coverage runs out, particularly concerned about costly dental repairs. Her mother, Meghan, who runs a local acupuncture and massage therapy business, expressed gratitude for community support through the fundraising effort. Donations will help cover Bella’s ongoing care, therapy, and dental surgeries to aid her long road to recovery.
