Support Kristen Bell's Fight for Recovery

Hello everyone, we are writing on behalf of our friend and family, Kristen Bell. On May 6th, Kristen had a routine hernia operation which initially went well. The next day she started to feel sick. May 8th her health declined rapidly and was taken by ambulance to St Clare's Emergency Department in Denville. There she was admitted to the ICU and found to have renal failure. She was placed on a ventilator and the family was told that evening Kristen was not going to survive the night. Fortunately, Kristen fought through the night and continues to persist against the odds stacked against her. As of this day, Kristen is fighting but making small incremental improvements. While still on a ventilator, she and her family have a long road ahead of her. Her husband Allen and two daughters, Aubree (8) and Makayla (12), have been by her side every day throughout Kristen's uncertainty. There has been tremendous support of friends and family assisting with meals, transportation, and care. Although there has been continued aid from the Bell's immediate support groups, Kristen will need long term rehabilitation. We ask you for your support in any financial capacity you might have to assist in medical, travel, and indirect losses the family has endured. We thank you for your consideration in raising the funds necessary to ease the pain the Bell family is experiencing in these trying times.
