Bachelor star Michelle Money reveals her daughter, 15, is on life support after skateboarding accident: ‘This is the worst experience of my life’
Michelle Money is asking for prayers for her daughter who is on life support after a serious skateboarding accident.
The former Bachelor star shared a photo of Brielle, 15, in the hospital on Monday, where she has been placed into a medically induced coma to ease swelling on her brain after suffering trauma to her head.
Michelle, 39, wrote: ‘Brielle was in terrible skateboarding accident and is in the ICU on life support. She suffered a serious brain trauma and a fractured skull. She is in a medically induced coma to relieve pressure in her brain. She is in amazing hands up at Primary Children’s Hospital.’

She continued, ‘Please- I am asking for prayers. I believe in the power of communication with whatever God you believe in.
‘She needs support and healing right now. And if you could send one up for me as well, I would appreciate it. This is the worst experience of my life.
Michelle also used the post to implore parents to ‘ALWAYS MAKE [your kids] WEAR THE HELMET. ALWAYS. EVEN WHEN THEY PUSH BACK.’
The former reality star revealed that it was by a stroke of luck that her neighbors, who were out on a walk on Sunday, discovered Brielle.

‘Thank you to the neighbors who happened to be on a walk and found her and called 911. You will never understand. I would not have found her in time. My heart is forever grateful.
‘Thank you to all of you who have sent prayers and messages and love. Brielle has been through so much already this year. She has proven how strong she is. I know she will pull through. #PrayForBrie’
Michelle’s partner Mike Weir shared the same photo of Brielle hooked up to the life support machines as he revealed that due to the coronavirus pandemic only one person is allowed in the room with the teen.
The pro golfer wrote: ‘She is in ICU at Primary Children’s and Michelle has been by her side all night — because of the COVID-19 precautions only 1 parent is allowed in the room.
‘Nothing better than this kid. Nothing.’ Michelle captioned this snap in 2016

Michelle, who was born in Utah, was a contestant on the 15th season of The Bachelor with Brad Womack in 2011.
She returned to Bachelor Nation for the second season of Bacheloer Pad the same year before going on to win the first season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2014 after coupling up with Cody Sattler.
