On November 11, 2013, Jackie Colby, Newburyport resident and 2004 graduate of Newburyport High School sustained a life-altering accident when she fell off a roof at her home and broke her back.
Her determination to not let the accident define her is remarkable, she has had several surgeries and is currently in rehab relearning many of the day-to-day tasks including life in a wheelchair.
With the anticipated return home, Jackie's parents, Paul and Ann Colby, have added a self-contained handicap accessible apartment to their home. Once home the physical therapy will continue as well as the staggering medical expense.
