Kelli & Shannon Life Fund

Donation protected
Around 7 PM on January 5, Shannon St. Clair came home from work to find his life partner, Kelli Brinkley, laying in the yard.  He rushed to her and determined that she had no pulse and was not breathing, so he began performing CPR while shouting to his neighbors to call 911.  EMT arrived and worked to restore Kelli’s pulse before taking her to the hospital where she remained for several hours before she was airlifted to another facility.  She is currently in a coma and remains on life support.  Shannon is by her side, supporting and encouraging Kelli as best he can. 

This heartbreaking event has come to a shock to all of us since Kelli is too young and was in seemingly good health.  We are all asking what happened and at this time, that information has not been determined.  The theory as I understand it at this time is that Kelli had a seizure, she then asphyxiated and went into cardiac arrest.  We do not know how long she was like this before Shannon came home, but believe it was about 15 minutes.

As many of you know, Shannon and Kelli are both beautiful entrepreneurs who are working in careers where they are pursuing their passions.  They don’t have PTO or disability insurance, so this event means they are not generating income for their daily lives. 

Please help raise money for both of them so that they may keep their home and life they once knew.  100% of the funds raised (less the GoFundMe charges) will be donated to Kelli and Shannon for life expenses incurred during this time of tragedy.

*Disclaimer*

I’m not sure if I need to do this or not, but I am the brother of Shannon and have made him aware of this page.  All funds will go to him.  This is not about me, but is about helping my brother and Kelli who I love very much.
