Jenny's Recovery

On October 1, 2023 at 10PM, Jenny was involved in a fatal collision on Highway 7. A southbound vehicle crossed over the center lane and collided head-on to Jenny’s car heading northbound as she was on her way to work. The latest RCMP investigation confirms Jenny is not at fault, in any way, for this collision and the latest collision analyst report confirms the opposing driver was driving in excess speeds of approximately 160 km/h as they collided into Jenny. She was airlifted by STARS Air Ambulance to Health Science Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She had to immediately undergo brain surgery, abdominal surgery and bowel surgery with more surgery set for her fractured arm. She also has fractured ribs, fractured pelvic bone, extensive damage to both her eyes and further injuries to her legs and chest. She is fighting for her life and has not woken up yet.

Jenny “Jen” Belmes is a healthcare worker. She worked at Brightwater Senior Living, Deer Lodge Center and had begun her journey as Traveling Healthcare Aide in Manitoba with plans to study and become a Registered Nurse in order to further help those around her. Whenever she travelled for work across Manitoba she was so well loved by each community that many of them put in special requests to specifically have her return and some even offered her permanent positions. She always took the extra time and effort to show warmth, care and affection for all people including her patients, her coworkers and her friends. She is originally from the Philippines and has no family with her in Canada.

Because of this unexpected and life changing tragedy, we are humbly asking for help to raise funds for Jenny’s recovery expenses that might not be covered by insurance and we would also need to raise funds for the travel expense of her family from the Philippines so that they can come to Canada to help her with her recovery. All donations raised will be going to Jenny and her family. We want Jenny to be able to concentrate on recovering and we want to lessen her financial burdens due to this tragic accident and future matters that come from it.

We feel blessed that Jenny survived and is still with us, however she is still in a critical condition and has not woken up. She was put on sedation while the hospital performed different surgeries on her. We are unsure if she will able to live a normal life again. With your help, she will be able to be close to her loved ones and her family while she fights for her life. Any amount or donation would be deeply appreciated, no matter how big or small.

If you are unable to help financially, please include Jenny in your prayers for a speedy and full recovery. We thank you for reading this and God bless you all.

I know everyone misses your wonderful smile and your beautiful character but above all we miss that peculiar gentle warmth you endlessly radiate that was felt by everyone who had the chance to meet you. I hope the world will get another chance to feel that gentle warmth once more. Each time I come back to this page my heart swells up as it is proof Jenny was and is genuinely, truly loved wherever she goes. The sincerest thank you from my heart – for the rest of my life.
