Help for the Family of Amanda Perry

On Wednesday, September 15th, at 36 years old, Amanda Rose Perry was admitted to the Horizon Medical Center Emergency room with Covid complications where she was diagnosed with a severe case of Covid pneumonia. At the time, she was 32 weeks pregnant, and an emergency c-section was performed.

 

Since that day in mid-September, Amanda was ventilated, and soon airlifted, to Virginia for more supports. Billy, her sweet husband, drove to Richmond and secured an apartment to be by her side through it all. He never missed a day with her. Amanda had her better days and her challenging days. From responsive hand squeezes, blinks and attempts to smile or mouth "I love you", she fought until the very end. 

 

She fought through high fevers, mastitis, a tracheotomy, bacteria in her blood, a collapsed lung, and a blood transfusion, ALL while healing from a cesarean, before finally making her way to heaven on October 18th.

 

After a month in the NICU, baby Nolan was recently released to Amanda's mother and is doing well. He is currently at home with his grandmother, Carlene, and his two older brothers. 

 

To know Amanda was to love her. Her smile was contagious. Her warmth and kindness were felt by all who crossed her path.
She truly had the sweetest soul and most tender heart. 
The love she had for her children and being their momma was boundless and evident in everything she did. She loved nothing more than being a mother to her boys and a wife to her husband. Amanda and Billy prayed for years for another baby, and she was over the moon when she became pregnant with baby Nolan. Her unwavering love of Billy and their family was unmatched.

 

Her family and friends hoped prayed day in and day out that Billy would be able to bring his best friend home, healthy and ready to raise their new baby together. Unfortunately, God had different plans for this family.

 

Her husband, mother, and children now need the rest of us, who have been showering them with prayer, to show up in a big way. The last thing this family needs to stress about is the crippling medical debt that is sure to come.

 

Amanda had the most generous heart, and we know she would appreciate your help in her family's greatest time of need. Please find it in your hearts to give what you can. Every amount adds up.

Please hug your loved ones and share this with your communities.

We sure will miss our girl.
