Amran Djama was recently transferred to a rehabilitation facility where she’ll begin therapy, her father announced three days ago. Moustapha Djama posted the update on his , which the family set up in hopes of helping out with the mounting hospital bills.
Both the crash and the bills are taking a financial and emotional toll on the Amran’s parents, reported.
Just over a month ago, on Dec. 27 in Herndon, carjacking suspect Brandon Vinson, 28, of Adelphi, Maryland was trying to get away from police when they say he slammed into the family’s minivan, which was carrying six people: Amran’s mother; her siblings; and a young friend.
Everyone else is out of the hospital except for Amran.
