Help Angela Farmer get back on her feet

Donation protected
Please help with Angela Farmer's journey to successfully resume her life to the fullest.

In July 2018 the lives of my sister Angela and her husband Dennis changed forever. Angela's body took on septic shock as a result of an infection from a kidney stone. Her heart failed, she was put on life support and in an effort to save her life received multiple vasopressors. These are drugs that assist in raising blood pressure of someone in shock, but that also constrict blood flow to all but the most crucial organs.

After 10 days in the ICU Angela’s vitals began to stabilize and she started breathing on her own. There are no words to describe the joy and relief to see Angela awaken from the coma she was in. However, no one was prepared for the complications from the infection and from the combination and duration of the medications she had been given.  The lack of circulation and blood flow to her extremities caused her fingertips and toes to turn black within a matter of days. She had gangrene which soon spread throughout her hands and feet. Ultimately, Angela suffered amputations of both legs below the knee, as well as both hands above the wrist. 

Angela is home now and in amazing spirits. Motivated by her love of family and her previous life, Angela is fighting hard to get stronger physically to accomplish more each day. Even with her strong motivation, due to her limb loss, Angela needs ongoing daily care and assistance. She and her family are working hard to rebuild their lives with the new complexities and challenges of daily life. 

Please help us to reach our goal of raising $150,000 to help offset the cost of prosthetics for; both hands and lower legs/feet, a handicap van, necessary home modifications for daily functions and future full time personal care for Angela. (Expenses itemized below).

Angela loves gardening, cooking, caring for her children and grandchildren. She was the primary caregiver to our parents who are in their 90's. Your support will assist her in gaining back some of her independence and enable her to be the generous and loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister & Friend that she is. 

Please consider donating to Angela's GoFundMe campaign. Your support will mean the world to Angela, Dennis and our family. Also, to help get the word out, please share this link to your Facebook Timeline and other social media outlets.
