Friends of Jessica Osborne — who was struck by a car on Rosa Parks Way in North Portland and left for dead on April 3 — have planned a benefit show to raise money for her medical bills.
The collision left Osborne in the hospital with three cracked vertebrae, collapsed lungs, scrapes and bruses, and a ruptured spleen (that was later removed). The injuries will keep her out of work for eight weeks and the hospital bill is close to $100,000.
Friends have lined up bands (Stag Bitten, Play/Start, Star Kaleider, and others) and a prize raffle to help raise money.

When is it and is there a way to contribute if I can\’t make it?
Thanks
OK, I\’m a dork, May 15. EERRR!!
Second, dork free question still stands though.
It isn\’t a total dork question. What time does it start?
I 2nd the \’how do we contribute from afar\’. I don\’t even live in Oregon- I just love the blog. Maybe Paypal through this site?
yeah, has anyone set up a benefit landing page?
I could do that if needed and link to her paypal info.
Just let me know.
Her friends have set up a charity fund through Wells Fargo. You can walk into any Wells Fargo and ask to make a donation to the Help Jess Osborne Fund and donate directly. That way it is tax free, whereas Paypal taxes anything over $500 a month.
Excellent, Stacia, thank you!
Could somebody provide a postal address (to who\’s attention, payable to whom) for the Help Jess Osborne Fund?
