Natalie Romero, a UVA student, sustained a skull fracture and facial injuries at the rally.

In case anyone wants to help, her mother has set up a GoFund Me account to help pay for expenses.

KHOU 11 spoke to Natalie on the phone on Sunday. She told us she was hit by the car that drove into the crowd of people.

She said she isn't sure if she will be physically able to attend the first day of classes when they start later this month.

"A lot of back pain and neck pain. Just a lot of bruises. I think when fell, I bit my lip. And so my lip is really busted and my face looks pretty horrible right now." said Natalie of her injuries.

$40,040 of $75k goal
Raised by 1,289 people in 18 hours

...I think she'll have enough to cover those expenses in no time!

I was wondering today about the poor people still in the hospital, and thanks to you, I know that at least one of them is (slowly, no doubt) recovering, poor baby

Thanks again, mom!
