Help Jodi with housing. Healing from brain surgery
Donation protected
Hey friends - My dear friend Jodi has had a couple of major medical situations over the past few months. Between medical bills, rent and living expenses, she could use our help to support her healing process as she gets back on her feet (literally). Here's the full story: as COVID was hitting us, she experienced a brain hemorrhage and was in ICU. While recovering during the pandemic she unknowingly developed hydrocephalus, an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid which causes pressure on the brain. Due to this, her mobility and daily functioning got increasingly worse over three years. This came to a head recently when she had a seizure while walking alone in the street, causing her to be homebound and mostly unable to walk. Since then she has experienced three hospitalizations and brain surgery. Although she is finally gaining her mobility and strength back, she is seriously behind on rent and is at risk of losing her housing. Her landlord has started the eviction process. If we all pitch in as little or as much as we can, she can focus on her healing without worrying about being homeless. Anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated! If you can’t donate, please share this fundraiser with your networks. Thank you so much.
