Story
In the early hours of Sunday 3rd of March 2024, Sharon was walking home from her shop and feeding stray cats, when she was the victim of a brutal hit and run. The driver, with no insurance and whilst under the influence of drugs and alcohol, drove through a dead end and hit her whilst she was walking on the pavement.
Sharon sustained massive injuries, including broken legs, fractures to her pelvis, hip and shoulder, numerous injuries to her vital organs, a fractured neck and a bleed to her brain. She is currently in intensive care in UHW and has already undergone several surgeries.
As well as the extreme emotional impact of the incident, the family are now under significant financial pressure to not only take time off work to be by her bedside, but to continue to financially support Sharon’s business, Baguettes and Bagels in Cathays. The shop has been a pillar of the community for 30 years. Serving the community and having banter with her customers who were also her friends brought her great joy.
Everyone who knows Sharon knows that she worked tirelessly, never complained and cared for others above herself, especially animals!
We are fundraising to help keep the business going and support the family during this extremely difficult time, in the hope that Sharon will survive and recover from this traumatic incident, and still have her shop to return to. The shop is Sharon’s livelihood, and she would be distraught if she woke up to discover that she no longer had it, and had lost her daily banter with her friends also.
Thank you for reading and for all your support. Please keep Sharon in your thoughts and prayers.
