Colleagues of a Basha High science teacher in Chandler are rallying to raise money, donate vacation time and deliver meals after she, her newborn and her husband were struck by a car this month.
All three survived the accident in south Tempe, but the teacher, Amy Kiefer-Berard, suffered three skull fractures. Her long-term prognosis is not known.
"They just moved her to a long-term care facility, and she was able to tie her shoes and brush her hair on her own, which is more then doctors thought she would be able to do," said Renee Clancy, a fellow teacher and friend.
Kiefer-Berard was on maternity leave when the accident occurred. Principal Ken James said the school is looking for a long-term replacement.
The family was in Tempe near Kiwanis Park when a car stopped to let them cross the street. A truck slammed into the car, knocking it into Kiefer-Berard, husband Daniel, their newborn daughter, Gabby and their dog.
"Amy's road is hopeful," Principal James wrote to staff Monday.
James has visited Amy several times and said she can open her eyes, recognize people and mutter a few words.
"Doctors were worried about two main arteries in the back of her skull, but they are not damaged. All signs are positive. But she has a long way to go," he said.
Meanwhile, students, staff and teachers are raising money for the family and establishing a meal schedule to bring food to Kiefer-Berard's husband.
Students have established a Berard donation fund at Wells Fargo and Bank of America to collect money for the family.
