A Florida woman is recovering after crashing into an alligator before her vehicle flipped.

An online fundraiser on GoFundme has been started for Maslin Kurtz, 25, of Myakka City. She is back home from the hospital after the March 5 crash, in which she fractured her shoulder, sternum and spine.

According to a photo attached to the GoFundMe, a couple rescued Kurtz from her “crushed car” and prayed with her as she awaited emergency services.

“I thank God for y’all,” Kurtz wrote. “Truly a miracle I’m here today. Could not have done it without your help.”

“Maslin is truly such an incredible, loving, and talented person filled with so much love and joy,” the GoFundMe description says.
