Tayla Acton and her seven-week-old baby, Alessio, narrowly escaped death after a terrifying car crash on March 9. While baby Alessio walked away unscathed, Tayla’s injuries are severe and life-changing.
Busted Back and Broken Dreams
Tayla’s injuries include a broken back, multiple pelvis fractures, cracked ribs, and extreme chest whiplash. She’s also battling severe trauma and a steep decline in her mental health. The new mum is currently bedridden in hospital and faces at least six months without walking.
Doctors warn it could take 18 months—or longer—before Tayla makes a full recovery. She’s lost her income and won’t be able to care for baby Alessio on her own for up to a year.
Family Forced to U-Turn Life Plans
Tayla’s family faces huge upheaval. They must move out of their flat because she won’t be able to manage the stairs. She’ll need a full-time carer for at least four months after hospital discharge, plus intense physiotherapy to relearn walking.
Her partner Sam, juggles caring for Tayla and their newborn while struggling to work and cover bills amid this nightmare.
