Maeve had just picked out some supplies with her dad at home hardware in Hagersville, for a special father/daughter project. When they left the store, a car driven by an elderly woman mounted the sidewalk and pinned Maeve.

In March Maeve’s mother, Gloria Field tearfully thanked first responders and the community for their love and support. Maeve’s left arm and right leg were partially amputated her left eye, damaged beyond repair.
