Rebekah (Bekah) Smith and the Smith Family return home after a life-altering car accident in Hawaii on June 28. Bekah (18) suffered an atlanto-occipital dislocation, a typically fatal injury, a C1 and C2 fracture, and traumatic brain injury, while her father, Jacob, and brothers, Jake, and Banks, also sustained injuries.<\/p>\n
After receiving dedicated care at The Queens Medical Center (ICU) in Honolulu, she was flown
to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Bekah has made remarkable progress in her
recovery.<\/p>\n
The family anticipates arriving at 3:00 PM on Friday, August 4.<\/p>\n
A heartwarming “Welcome Home” drive-through event is planned, starting from 378 down
Corley Mill Rd., passing through River Bluff High School, and concluding at Saluda River Club,
their residence.<\/p>\n
Let’s celebrate their resilience and show unwavering support for Bekah Smith and the Smith
Family.<\/p>\n
