By Haldimand Press Staff

HAGERSVILLE—After being hit and pinned by an SUV on March 9, 2019 Maeve Field has proven to be a fighter.

An update from the family on April 9 said, “Her left arm and right leg suffered irreparable damage from the accident, and so that the rest of her body can heal, both limbs needed to be shortened … Maeve’s left eye was also hurt beyond repair, so she uses her strong, right eye to see. Maeve also endured multiple head and facial injuries for which surgeries are being carefully planned out by an amazing team of specialists.”

Maeve celebrated her fifth birthday while in the hospital and is “getting stronger every day. Everyone is so very proud of her effort and grit.”
