Viveca Hawkins’ Stroke Recovery

Our beloved Viveca Hawkins needs our support! Known to many as a magnificent singing artist and performer, tye-dye queen, daughter, family, friend and bright light, has suffered an unimaginable heath crisis. On Tuesday, 1/14/25, she awakened to a stroke that has affected her ability to speak, and some of her motor functions. She has undergone 2 life-saving brain surgeries. Over the course of the last two weeks, she has made some progress with movement, is demonstrating she’s present and understands what we are saying, however she is still unable to talk. Doctors are encouraged by her spirit and believe she is a great candidate for acute intensive rehab and are hopeful about her progress, but it will be slow and steady over the course of many months, and she’ll need regular rehab and lots of assistance in daily life once discharged.

We are reaching out to her community to support her while she can focus on her healing and recovery. She currently makes her bread and butter as a vocalist with multiple national bands; Dumpstaphunk, Con Brio, Kev Choice Ensemble, The Monophonics, and Jazz Mafia to name a few and will be out of work and off the stage to heal.

Please send prayers, love and positive energy and, of course, anything you can contribute to ensure she can return to her home with ease, and eventually the stage, would be so appreciated. Your donation will help ensure she retains her housing and transportation but also to aid in any modifications she may need to assist her as she works to regain her independence.

She loves you, we love you. We’ll keep you updated with her progress. Thank you so much.

If you would like to send her an email or video message, you can email her at vivecarecovery at gmail dot com - or share a message here and we will show her!
