Support Blair's family in kidney disease battle

Alyce, Blair and May need your help. Blair is battling kidney disease that has required some extremely intensive care-giving and a 17-day hospital stay in January; unbeknownst to many, this is a culmination of a long illness. While the most recent medical appointments, equipment and overnight hospital stays are largely covered, there are many additional expenses associated with Blair’s care.

Caregiving and providing for the family has fallen to Alyce since Blair’s previous hospitalization in 2022 and before.

Alyce is unable to work nearly as much as she wants or needs to as the owner of a small business that is still in its hustle-intensive early growth phase. She is able to work more now than during Blair’s hospitalization, but his current health crisis has meant that she was unable to keep important income-producing projects on schedule during December and January. The strain of being the primary caregiver AND the primary breadwinner is becoming overwhelming for one person to be responsible for. Just one of those jobs would be a lot, and doing both is taking its toll. May is unable to help with tasks or finances, as she is a sophomore in college several hours away.

It would be so wonderful to give Alyce, Blair and May the breathing room they so desperately need so that each bill that comes due doesn’t get added to the growing pile of credit card debt.

People have been asking about ways to help this wonderful family, and this vehicle seems the easiest and fastest to create (though there was some hesitation on their parts!) The family would be so grateful for any help in any amount you are able to give. We know your thoughts and prayers are with them, and we thank you so very much for your help in navigating this incredibly difficult time.

Thank you so very much! Super grateful for you!

Alyce's friends
