Fundraiser for the Hemphill Family

Hello everyone. My name is Warren Curry and I started this fundraiser to raise money for a precious family who is very dear to us. They are Carlton and Kisha Hemphill.

On Saturday, December 17, 2022, Kisha was driving home with their youngest daughter Christina. She was within a mile and a half from their home when she began kind of dozing off and swerving toward the right side of the road. Her impairment did not come from fatigue. Rather it happened as a result of Kisha experiencing a medical emergency that she was unaware of. Eventually, she passed out, and the car that she was driving ran off to the right side of the road and hit a pole. Fortunately, no one else was hurt, and no other cars were damaged.

Apparently, Kisha experienced a brain hemorrhage that evening. Emergency personnel found their car ran off the side of the road, and they took her to Bethesda Butler Hospital. She was eventually transferred to Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati and placed in the Neuroscience ICU.

On December 18, 2022, the medical staff at the Good Samaritan Hospital drilled two small holes into her cranium to place hoses to very slowly remove the blood and excessive cerebrospinal fluid that had accumulated on her brain so the pressure and swelling in her brain could begin reducing. Unfortunately, Kisha has had very limited brain activity and has been unconscious this entire time. This all happened a week prior to Christmas.

Kisha will soon be transferred to a long-term care facility as she has a long road to recovery before her. Currently, she is still unconscious.

As you can imagine, this tragedy has been exceptionally hard on their family. Carlton and Kisha have been married for 20+ years and have three children (Jeana, Carlton Jr., and Christina) who miss their mom dearly. This unexpected tragedy has taken a toll on the family financially as medical expenses pile up.

We appreciate any donation given to help lighten this family's load. Please keep all of them in your prayers as they must make many tough decisions in the coming days.
