HOW Oakhurst Honors Kelli Montgomery in November

OAKHURST–Join Helping One Woman (HOW) Oakhurst in honoring November recipient Kelli Montgomery. Long-time local Kelli Montgomery moved to the mountain community in 1996 with her grandparents. She graduated from Yosemite High School in 2003 and attended Oakhurst Community College for two years.

Kelli’s Story

In July of this year, Kelli’s doctor found a diabetic ulcer on her big toe. By July 15th, Kelli was admitted to Clovis Community due to infection. Since then, Kelli has had multiple surgeries, which resulted in the amputation of her big toe, the removal of the ball joint, and a very large upper portion of her left foot. On July 25th, Kelli was transferred to the Majestic Mountain Care Facility here in Oakhurst. Her last surgery was on October 10th, with the hopes of being released on October 31st.

Kelli is currently in a wheelchair and requires lots of care. She will need daily physical therapy in order to regain mobility. The goal is to heal well enough so that she can be fitted with a prosthetic. The doctors have indicated this could take two or more years.

Kelli is on a healing journey and has expressed deep thanks to her partner and family for standing by her during this very difficult time.

We hope you will join us on Wednesday, November 20th, to show Kelli the love and support of her community.

Rebecca Brokaw and April Hill lovingly sponsor Kelli.
