Lillian and Amanda Stanwood
A nasty three-car accident Thursday has left a Coupeville family in need.
Amanda Stanwood, and her daughter Lillian, were hit in a head-on collision on Highway 20 in the vicinity of Dugualla Bay after another driver crossed the centerline.
Their car was pinned against the guardrail after the accident, and Amanda was one of three people involved transported to the hospital.
Seaside Spa and Salon owner Aaron Wiley, who is a family friend, posted this earlier today:
If you’re from Coupeville and a soccer family, chances are you know the Stanwood’s.
They personally mean a lot to me (Aaron) because they have been like family to my daughter and I since Emma was in diapers.
Their home has been her home away from home whenever she needed it, and our daughters will most certainly be lifelong friends. It’s just that kind of a bond.
Mandi & Lily were in that horrible wreck on North Whidbey this last Thursday. Hit head-on by an uninsured motorist who they think fell asleep at the wheel.
This family is the NICEST family I’ve ever met. They would give anyone the shirt off their backs and every last dime they had if someone was in need.
Mandi’s husband volunteers as a soccer coach and Mandi spends her time taking care of their household and helping all of her friends out when any of us are in a pinch with childcare.
They pour as much as they can into soccer for their daughter because it’s her outlet and is one of the things that has kept this sweet child sane through a terrible couple of years.
They travel off-Island multiple times a week for soccer camps and tournaments.
Now they are without a vehicle and not a lot of hope after this horrific car wreck that they miraculously walked away from … beaten up, cut up, bruised and shaken, but alive ❤️.
The paramedics were astounded they weren’t hurt any more than they were.
Please help them if you can. They need to purchase a car.
Thankfully they have been lent a vehicle to use temporarily from a friend until they can buy their own.
They need the stress taken off.
They may need help with medical bills because it’s unknown right now what their health insurance will cover.
Their car insurance was minimal and they don’t know what, if anything, it will cover to help them replace their car.
These are wonderful people and could really use some community support right now.
