The family of 10 year old Aniqua Fisher is asking for your help tonight. We first told you about her on May third, the little girl who was badly hurt in a major car accident on the Western highway - while on her way to the National Agricultural and Trade Show on May first.
Little Aniqua received severe injuries to the upper right side of her back, a broken rib, a broken collar bone and some major skin removal. Today her mother told 7news says she will be needing plastic surgery- which is very costly.
Curlet Bainton, Mother
"Well at this time she is doing much better, she is up and around and she wants to go back to school, she wants to do normally things that normal kids would do and she is moving around slowly but surely. She will get there eventually. She will also need plastic surgery, not only skin graph because as I said before all the flesh from this area right here is missing and they took her to the theatre last week and they try to close it up but it's still has this big opening in it.
They will have to take her to the theatre this Thursday to try to bring it a little bit closer - that's what they plan to do. Whenever they try to bring it close - it turns her neck this way (to the left). So if they keep tightening that thing then I think she will left with a twist neck and I really wouldn't want that to happen to her. Because she doesn't deserve that at all."

"Also she had some head injuries right?"
Curlet Bainton, Mother
"Yes she does. One of her ear was hanging, they try to fix that a little when she went to the theatre last week but it's not fully back together and she has a hole in her face. All the hair from the left side of her head is gone. I don't like to see her like that."
