Justin and Laura

Dear friends, and family,

I am reaching out to you today to request your support for my brother Justin and sister-in-law, Laura, who has endured an incredibly challenging journey over the past few months. I am hoping to help provide her with the assistance she needs during this critical time.

On May 26th, Laura Baughn underwent a complex surgical procedure to have a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placed in her brain to relieve migraines she has been fighting with since she was 14 years old.

Unfortunately, just a few days later, on May 31st, she developed sepsis, leading to a prolonged hospital stay at the University of Tennessee Hospital for two weeks. During this period, she was also diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), a blood clot in her leg, colitis, and now has fluid around her heart adding further complications to her already challenging situation.

As if that wasn't enough, Laura had already been battling chronic migraines and frequent hospital visits, which ultimately led to her losing her job. Now, with only one income to rely on and my brother not knowing what the future holds for his job as he will have to be her caregiver for the next several months, they are overwhelmed by the mounting medical bills and other financial obligations that have become an unfortunate reality.

Adding to the burden, the necessary medications for her ongoing treatment, including blood thinners and other prescriptions, now amount to $600+ per month. These expenses have become an immense strain on the family's finances, leaving them in a scary financial situation.

Laura was finally able to return home on June 11th, but her road to recovery is far from over. For the next several weeks, Justin will have to be her primary caregiver, ensuring her well-being and closely monitoring her condition to prevent any recurrence of sepsis or complications from the blood clots.

Please consider making a donation to our GoFundMe campaign for Laura and Justin. Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant impact on their lives and help them relieve some of their financial burdens.

I also ask that you will share this GoFundMe with your friends and family.
Our family is forever grateful for all of your prayers, kindness, compassion, and support.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Sincerely,

Tiffany Morris and The Baughn Family
