Brinlee's Story

Hi, my name is Kristie, and I am organizing this fundraiser for my best friend's daughter, Brinlee. Brinlee is suffering from a very serious eating disorder. She has been in the hospital two times now. In August for 11 days and currently has been in the hospital for the last week and will not be leaving until she heads to an inpatient treatment facility. She needs to be in a residential therapy program to help her get better.

Kelly & Scott are very proud people and would not agree to this fundraiser if they could help their baby get better on their own. The treatment facility is out of state and out of network for their insurance. The medical bills are piling up from her hospital stays and outpatient therapy, and the road is still long. They learned they would need $11,000 out of pocket to get her into the residential treatment facility. Not sending her is not an option at this point. It is a matter of life and death, and we are rallying behind them to make sure Brinlee gets what she needs.

If you feel compelled to help them, I know they would be incredibly appreciative.
