Help Lay Rae Bristow to Rest

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Sandra and I am helping my best friend Lavina, who I've known for 20 years, and her sister Rae. I knew Rae Bristow first. Rae was a very kind person, always helping others. It didn't matter if Rae knew the person or not, if they needed a place to stay for the night or food, clothes, she would let whoever it was stay at her place, give them her food and clothes. Rae would also help the elderly out, she made sure they get to their appointments, she would clean their houses and ride her bike across town or wherever they stayed. Despite always going out of her way, Rae didn't have much for herself.

Then, out of the blue, Rae's heart just stopped and she fell to the ground. Two other people saw her turning blue so they started CPR on her and they got her heart pumping. Then the ambulance showed up and took over. Rae went flatline again, the paramedic started CPR on her and the hospital had to pump her heart for 35 mins. In that 35 mins, she was not getting any air to her brain and after 7 to 10 mins, your brain cells start dying off. Her brain swelled up, had a very high fever, the doctor had her like she was in an ice box to try to keep her brain from burning up. So by the 12th of July, the doctors said she had no brain waves so they pronounced her brain dead on July 13.

Rae's sister Lavina Barnec has the say on Rae, like claiming her body, laying her to rest. But like five days later, Lavina, Rae's sister, she also out of the blue, is now lying in Lodi Hospital for the same as Rae, Cardiac Arrest. The Doctor at Lodi Hospital had to pump her heart for 6 mins and 3 to 4 mins she was without air and now she's on life support. So, my Best Friend Rae is still at the morgue waiting to be claimed, cremated. I would like to raise the money for my best friend Rae so she can be at rest, as for Rae's sister Lavina, she can't do it because the Doctor says it will be a long road before she's able to do anything. She is still on life support and they moved her to a long-term hospital in Modesto, CA.

I Thank You so much
God Bless
