While riding her scooter near Laurel Yard Office Road and East Maryland, Raye was struck by a truck in a devastating crash that left her with multiple serious injuries.

The teenager suffered severe trauma, including bleeding in three areas of her brain, bruised lungs, a broken collarbone and numerous lacerations. Her injuries left her facing a long and difficult road to recovery.

Raye was already well known throughout her community. She had grown up living with cystic hygroma, a rare lymphatic malformation in which fluid-filled sacs develop, most commonly around the head or neck.

Despite the challenges she had faced throughout her life, Raye had become a familiar and valued presence in the community. Now, after the sudden crash, those who know her are rallying around the 17-year-old and hoping for her recovery.

I am asking for help for Raye Anderson, an amazing teenager who is a senior in high school and should be looking forward to graduation, making memories with friends, and starting the next chapter of their life.

Instead, everything changed when Raye was hit by a car and seriously injured. Raye and their single father, Torrey, have been flown to Seattle for Raye’s critical care. They are now facing a difficult road of recovery, medical care, appointments, and unexpected expenses. What should have been an exciting final year of high school has suddenly become a time filled with uncertainty and challenges.
