Amber Young Ripplinger's Recovery Fund

On June 4th 2019, Amber was emergency admitted to Iowa Methodist Hospital Downtown due to having a gall stone get lodged in her common duct, blocking her liver and gall bladder. This quickly lead to the most severe type of pancreatitis, and in the last couple of days Amber has faced critical, life threatening situations and extreme pain. The doctors have told us this dangerous stage could last at least three months and all we can do is medically support her while her own body fights this process. She will be unable to work and needs to be cared for.

Donations will go towards:
-Living expenses for Amber while she is unable to work
-Medical costs

Asking for help is always a difficult thing. Very few people like to seem like they are asking for handouts. We never want anyone to feel like we are taking advantage of people's generosity, but our precious Amber is our main focus and we want to be able to provide to her the best care possible.

More than anything else, we ask that you keep Amber in your thoughts and prayers. This is going to be a very long and painful process for her.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
