The Tennessee community, along with some of country music’s biggest stars, is showing overwhelming support for 16-year-old Maggie Isble, who suffered a life-changing injury at a trampoline park last month.

Maggie, who’s loved ones describe her as being “joyful, bright, and full of life” was enjoying a fun day with her siblings over Thanksgiving break when an attempt to backflip off a trapeze bar went tragically wrong.

“Mid-flip, she landed head first into the foam pit and went all the way through the foam and hit her head on the concrete and broke her neck,” Maggie’s older sister Destiny Isble tells WSMV.

The accident left Maggie paralyzed from the chest down, unable to move her legs, feet, or hands. She was immediately taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and later transferred to a one of the best spinal rehabilitation facilities in the country, located in Atlanta.

Her family has shared her journey across social media, including a Facebook group called Miracle For Maggie. Here, friends, family and followers can see updates on Maggie’s slow but steady progress as she embarks on the long road to recovery.

Josh and Jenny Isble, the adoptive parents of Maggie and her three siblings, recently shared some extra special messages of hope and encouragement that were sent to their teen by country acts like Luke Combs, Scotty McCreery, and Dustin Lynch. These singer/songwriters reached out with heartfelt video messages in an effort to lift her spirits.

Combs made sure to celebrate the strides she has made so far and shared his gratitude for her being a fan. He even gave her something to look forward to when he invited her and her family out to a show to meet him one day in the future when she is able.

“Katy told me about the tough times that you’re going through right now following your accident, but she also told me that you’re making some progress. That’s great news. I’m happy to hear that. Also heard you’re a big fan. I really, really appreciate that and I just wanted to reach out and say, keep your head up. Stay strong,” he told her. “These things take time. But Katie also told me how strong you are and how amazing of a person you are and how amazing your family is. So you’ve got great people around you. You’ve got support. I believe in you. I would love to have you and your family out to a show sometime meet you in person when you’re feeling better and stay strong. You got this.”

Scotty McCreery also sent Maggie a personal video note to let her know he’s thinking of her during her recovery.

“Just wanted to say hello and that I’m thinking about you and praying for you in your recovery. You got this, and hopefully we get to meet sometime. Have a good one.”

With a big smile on his face, Lynch sent good thoughts Maggie’s way and spread a bit of holiday cheer.

“Just wanted to reach out and say hello. Send you a smile, a hug, and wish you a Merry Christmas. I’m decorating my tree. Hope to see you soon. Love you,” he said warmly.

According to Maggie’s doctor, she has sustained a C4B injury, meaning she has slight feeling, but little to no movement from the chest down. While her ultimate recovery is uncertain, progress is typically fastest in the first three months, with most people reaching about half their potential by six months. Some improvements can continue for years, making her future outcome difficult to predict but full of hope.

So far, it seems that her team of medical professionals and her family are very pleased with the progress she has made, especially since doctors initially warned Maggie’s family that she might never walk again. A few recent updates in the Facebook group this month revealed that she was able to move her thumb on her own and feel sensation in her feet.

The December 14 post read, “Today brought another small but meaningful moment—Maggie was able to move her feet a little. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s purposeful movement or spasms, but we are choosing faith over fear. She also fed herself a few fries today. We had to put them in her hand but she got it to her mouth. We know God works through the small things, and we will praise Him for every single sign of progress. We believe in miracles, and we are trusting Jesus completely.”

Her aunt, Jessica Burton, also told News Channel 5 that Maggie is maintaining a “positive outlook” throughout this very difficult time in her life.

“We’re already seeing a miracle happen, so keep on praying because we do believe in the power of prayer,” Burton said. “We believe that because of Maggie’s personality and attitude that she’s going to shine through this and she’s going to help others through this.”

Before her accident, Maggie was living with Josh and Jenny Isble, who had opened their home to her and her siblings in November of 2014. Inspired by a sermon from their late pastor, the couple decided to sell most of their belongings in order to build a home large enough to keep siblings together, a dream rooted in Josh’s own experiences in foster care. Just before Thanksgiving, five-year-old Maggie and her siblings arrived and after four years in foster care, they were officially adopted, completing the Isble family of nine.

With Maggie now receiving treatment in Atlanta, her parents are forced to split their time between there and their home in order to continue caring for their five other children and one grandchild.

How To Help

Between the sudden cut in income, substantial travel, lodging, and medical expenses and the significant modifications that will now need to be made on their home for wheelchair accessibility, Maggie’s family is asking for donations through GoFundMe.

The collection titled “A Miracle for Maggie” was created on Nov. 26 and as of publication time, has raised more than $71,000 of the $75,000 goal. A new message from Jenny on the GoFundMe page offers sincere gratitude for everyone who has stepped up to help them through this journey.

“We are in absolute awe of the love, prayers and support poured out over our family. We are especially thankful for those who have shared their own miracle stories – they strengthen our faith and help us process this journey. Thank you for walking alongside us, praying boldly with us, and believing with us. We praise Jesus and trust Him fully. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
