Madison Crossing Guard on the Road to Recovery After Accident
Madison, Ala. – Great news for the local community as we’ve received an update regarding a crossing guard who was injured in a recent accident. Terri Perdue, known for her dedication and commitment to keeping children safe while they travel to West Madison Pre-K, was struck by a vehicle while performing her duties on October 18th. This unfortunate incident had many residents worried about her condition, but we have some uplifting news to share!
From Critical Condition to Recovery
When Perdue was originally taken to Huntsville Hospital, she was in critical condition, prompting an outpouring of support from the community. Fortunately, at the most recent school board meeting on Monday, Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols shared the encouraging news that Perdue is on the mend! It’s such a relief to hear that she has left the hospital and moved into a rehabilitation facility where she can continue her recovery. It shows how resilient she is, and we couldn’t be happier for her family and friends!
Community Support Rises to the Occasion
In times of trouble, Madison has always come together, and this situation has been no different. Traci Reinhardt, a Transportation Specialist with the Madison City Schools and a close friend of Perdue’s family, felt the need to help out during this challenging time. She set up a GoFundMe campaign last week to assist with the family’s expenses while Terri focuses on her healing. It’s heartwarming to see such a supportive community rally around one of their own during this tough time.
Every Little Bit Counts
For those who want to contribute, any amount helps. Whether it’s a few dollars or more, the funds can make a real difference in supporting the family through this recovery phase. Perdue’s commitment as a crossing guard has touched the lives of countless families, and now it’s their turn to give back to her in this moment of need.
A Reminder of Safety Awareness
This incident serves as a poignant reminder about the importance of road safety – especially when it comes to our children. Crossing guards like Terri play a crucial role in keeping our kids safe while they navigate the streets on their way to school. We hope that this incident will encourage drivers to be extra vigilant, slow down, and pay attention in school zones.
Ongoing Support from Madison City Schools
Meanwhile, Madison City Schools is ensuring that they are actively supporting Perdue’s family during this time. They’ve been in close contact and are doing whatever they can to help everyone involved.
