Stephanie Reinish Says That Her "Go Fund Me" Is Painful, But Necessary

Her mom Susan Brownie Reinish says: Steph went to Kipling Elementary School, Shepard Middle School, Deerfield High School, then Ohio State.

"Here today, gone tomorrow" is an old saying that has become a cruel reality for Stephanie Reinish. Four years ago she was healthy and her life was going great and she was known as a great kindergarten teacher, but then a car accident changed everything. Stephanie ended up with a brain stem injury followed by four concussions since that accident in March of 2013.

Her mom, Susan Brownie Reinish, tells us where Stephanie went to school since some of us might know her: "Steph went to Kipling Elementary School, Shepard Middle School and then Deerfield High School. She's a proud Buckeye as she went to Ohio State."

Stephanie has started her own Go Fund Me page and she is brutally honest as she bares her soul: "Please know how humiliating this is for me to post. Swallowing pride." Stephanie adds: "I am writing this with my head buried in the sand with complete & utter humiliation and embarrassment."
