Beverly's knee surgery

Donation protected
I am reaching out to you today on behalf of a remarkable woman whose resilience in the face of adversity is nothing short of inspiring. Beverly Fox, a loving mother to a down syndrome son, has braved the storms of life with a determination that humbles us all. Her journey has been marred by relentless pain—pain that has been her constant companion with every step she takes. Beverly has lived with disabilities that have made what many consider ordinary, an extraordinary challenge for her.

Tragically, Beverly’s condition is not just a battle against one ailment; it’s a triad of medical challenges that threaten her independence and well-being. She is in dire need of knee surgery to regain mobility, eye surgery to preserve her vision, and heart surgery to continue beating the odds. The cumulative cost of these surgeries is a mountain too steep for Beverly to climb alone, especially as she teeters on the edge of losing her home due to an impending rent crisis, as her roommate, who has been her pillar of support, is set to leave.
In 2024 she's having quadruple bypass surgery or cabbage, getting both knees replaced and eye surgery to stop the blindness caused by Fuchs disease.
Beverly’s spirit remains unbroken, but her body demands the aid that only we can collectively provide. Social security benefits are her lifeline, yet they are not enough to cover the colossal expenses she faces—not enough for the surgeries, the rent, or the inevitable day-to-day care that will follow.

We are calling upon your generosity to help Beverly remain in her home, afford the critical surgeries, and ensure that she can continue to provide for her son, who also relies on her. Every dollar you contribute takes her a step further from the brink of despair and a step closer to the life-altering surgeries she desperately needs.

Your support is not just a donation; it’s a beacon of hope in Beverly’s world, a testament to the power of community, and a chance to change the course of a life. Let us unite to give Beverly and her son the gift of stability, health, and hope.

Please, give what you can, share her story, and keep Beverly and her son in your prayers.
