Help Becky rebuild her brain!

Donation protected
We all know Becky Fay to be a hard-working and motivated single mother who has worked tirelessly to provide her kids with a wonderful life; to serve her community; and to make our school the best it can be. But she is not tireless, and she needs our help so she can regain her health and vitality after suffering debilitating migraines and neurological problems over the course of the last year. Becky is seeking treatment at Northwest Functional Neurology in Portland, Oregon. The private functional neurology clinic is widely known for diagnosing and treating complicated neurological conditions, and healing them through customized, brain-based treatments. Without this GoFundMe, Becky will not be able to seek treatment.

Becky has always experienced migraines, but early in 2020 her symptoms dramatically worsened when she suffered a brain aneurism. Becky was hospitalized multiple times and began to suffer increasingly from migraines. She was on partial disability for some months and has undergone treatment in Eugene, receiving brain scans of various types; consulting with three neurologists and a vestibular therapist; cycling through six different medications that did not work and currently trying a seventh, fairly new, medication. Becky still experiences severe migraines several times a month, and ocular migraines (requiring her to wear an eye patch) about four days per week. Often with these migraines, Becky is unable to walk. Becky has accrued thousands of dollars in medical bills in the last year (above and beyond what is covered by medical insurance). The doctors have sought to treat her pain, but have not continued to search for the root cause, or a way to heal. Diagnosing the source of the symptoms and eliminating the pain through healing therapies is possible. After witnessing Becky's situation for the last year, and simultaneously seeing a close friend achieve stunning results with treatment at NW Functional Neurology, I have encouraged Becky to follow suit and seek treatment there.

Becky must pay the intake costs Monday, May 10th out of pocket and is scheduled for intensive diagnostics and treatments in July. All treatments must be paid for out of pocket. She can apply for partial insurance reimbursement as out-of-network care, but Becky will be responsible for paying a large amount herself (and all of it up front). The proceeds of this GoFundMe will be used to pay for Becky's intake appointment; an intensive week of diagnostics and treatments; food and lodging in Portland during treatment; and outstanding medical expenses from recent treatments in Eugene. Becky cannot seek treatment without this GoFundMe.
