Sophie Bracken, 23, broke her back, pelvis, legs and shattered her ankle in 30 places after landing on a concrete pavement.
Sophie was first taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary, and then to Salford Royal, which is home to Greater Manchester Major Trauma Centre . As she lay in hospital coming to terms with her life-changing injuries, all she wanted was her mum. But her mother, Rachel Clapman, 60, a nurse at Bradford Royal Infirmary, faced a six-hour return journey via public transport and couldn't afford a hotel.
Rachel was put in touch with charity Day One Trauma Support, which provided financial help so she could stay at times in a nearby hotel during Sophie's five weeks in hospital.Sophie added:"It was great that we had Day One to help us, and I felt better knowing my mum had someone to support her. Anybody could find themselves in my situation and in need of help from Day One. That's why I would encourage anyone to donate to Day One and help them be there for other people like me.
