Help needed with mounting medical bills

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Milena and I'm launching this Go Fund Me campaign to assist my amazing cousin with mounting medical bills after a rather routine minor procedure led to complications and weeks in the ICU, several follow-up surgeries and more than a month in the hospital as of today. She's still hospitalized and she may be for quite a while. She'll require rehab once she's out-of-the woods.

She's worked very hard all her life. She's divorced, raised 3 amazing kids, has 6 energetic grandchildren that adore her and loads of friends and family. She landed her dream job not that long ago. Life was good....until the unexpected happened.....

As you might imagine, over a month long (so far) hospital stay (2 weeks of which was in the ICU)....has us all worried about the mounting medical bills. She'll have one more surgery later this week....and then weeks of rehab before she can go home....and eventually return to work.

I've set up this Go Fund Me Campaign for her because I can't imagine facing all of this....and the rehab to come - with the stress and worry of how she'll pay all the bills. Any donations raised will be used to help pay her medical bills and if necessary pay her mortgage while she is out of work.

I'm hoping for a holiday miracle. Any donations, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...on behalf of all of us who love her.
