A freak accident that could've happened to anyone now requires a local woman spending thousands of dollars just to do tasks we take for granted.

Madison Miller was pulling Christmas lights out for the season and stood up in an enclosed space, hitting her head on a beam in the wrong spot. What usually is something we rub our heads for gave her Post-concussion syndrome.

"Its really just some brain damage that she has suffered," explained Haylee Bevan, one of Miller's co-workers. "She has chronic migraines, head pressure, sensitivity to light, motion and sound, balance issues, cognitive fatigue and problems with vision, so she can't really drive much, she can't watch TV, she can't listen to music, she can't read books."

Every day things some of us don't realize we have the privilege of are now impossible and annoying tasks for Miller. Bevan said its terrible for something like this to happen to her. She describes her as the best type of person, who always takes care of her friends and make sure everyone is okay.

When Miller first started having issues, Miller and Bevan's workplace tried to improve conditions for her so she could work without suffering from her symptoms. It wasn't soon after this that they found out her conditions.

It's been hard for her even with the improved conditions, and shes been receiving treatment and constant medical appointments, but it gets costly.

"In the past year and a half, she says she has spent just over twenty thousand dollars," Bevan said. "Like her vision therapy treatment is one-hundred twenty-five dollars per visit, the Botox treatment to help with her migraine symptoms is seven-hundred fifty dollars per visit. This medical clinic in BC will be four thousand dollars just for one assessment. Just the assessment, not even the treatment. It will be more expensive if she has to go back for the treatment."

Bevan said a lot of the treatment shes received and has been trying isn't all covered by their healthcare, which is why Bevan is holding a fundraiser for Miller to help her get the treatment in British Columbia and get another vision therapy treatment that will cost $5800, but she'll hopefully be able to drive, read, and watch TV again. She said that they've already been able to raise a little funds from random donations, but they want to improve on that.

The fundraiser takes place on May 28th and 30th. You can find more details on this on their Facebook page.

"Anything can happen to anyone but this is just such a freak accident that it could have been me, it could have been you, it could be anyone listening," Bevan said. "So I think that's why people really relate to it and when they know she is a 29 year old young women, who is supposed to be really enjoying her life right now, and she can't"
