Please help Angela Wicks on her Medical Journey

Donation protected
My name is Hillary Elgar and I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart and hope for your support. My beloved aunt, Angela Wicks, is facing a difficult and unexpected medical journey. This has come as a shock to all of us, and the emotional toll has been overwhelming. However, we know that with love, support, and your generosity, she can fight this.

Over the past year, Aunt Angela has been fighting daily to manage the symptoms of her condition, but as things progress, her medical needs have become more urgent. To date, she has:
  • Lesions on her brain causing mini strokes
  • Experienced a mini stroke that caused her to fall and break her hip
  • 2 growths on her kidney, 8 cm in total (still waiting on more tests to be sent to the Endocrinologist in St. John's)
  • 2 x 90% inoperable blockages in her neck. The blockages are too deep and close to her brain to operate. They possibly may be stented, and will know more when she sees the Vascular Surgeon on January 15th.
  • Extremely high white blood cell and platelet count (reason unknown)
  • Declining mobility daily (falls when she closes her eyes, even shampooing hair in the shower is risky)
  • Neurologist suspects Multiple Sclerosis
  • Restricted mobility in her left leg, causing her foot to become numb and discolored
  • Been hospitalized twice
  • Consumes 27 pills daily

Aunt Angela requires expensive treatments (prescriptions cost over $900 monthly), multiple hospital visits to Corner Brook and St. John's and possibly surgery to improve her quality of life. Unfortunately, the medical bills have quickly mounted, leaving her with a significant financial burden.

I am setting up this GoFundMe to raise funds to cover her medical bills, treatment, medications, and the other necessary expenses that will help her get the care she desperately needs. Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a huge difference in easing her financial stress and allowing her to focus on what matters most: her recovery and well-being.

We understand that times are tough for everyone, and any support—whether financial, prayers, or sharing this GoFundMe—will be deeply appreciated. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this link with others who may be able to help would mean the world to us.

On behalf of my aunt and our entire family, I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and generosity. Your support gives us the strength to keep pushing forward and fighting together. We are grateful for any amount of support you can provide.

We are confident that with your help, my aunt will continue her fight and come out of this stronger than ever. Thank you again for your love, compassion, and kindness.

With deepest gratitude,
Hillary Elgar
Angela's Niece
