Help Mineka Overcome Her Medical Battle: A Single Mother Fighting for Her Life

Dear Family, Friends, and Compassionate Strangers,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support in helping my daughter, Mineka, overcome an incredibly difficult and life-threatening medical battle. Mineka, a devoted single mother to two beautiful girls aged 9 and 10, is currently on life support, fighting for her life after a series of catastrophic health issues. As her mother, I am doing everything in my power to ensure she has the care she needs to survive and recover—but we cannot do this alone.

Mineka's Journey: On January 18, 2025, Mineka was diagnosed with a severe spinal cord infarction caused by abscesses in her cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. She is currently unable to move her arms or legs and has developed severe complications, including pneumonia, and septic shock due to MRSA, which has worsened her condition. The road to recovery is uncertain, but Mineka has expressed her desire to fight—she wants to live, regain her mobility, and be there for her daughters.

Since her hospitalization, Mineka has undergone multiple surgeries, including a tracheotomy and a feeding tube insertion. She’s received numerous blood transfusions and iron infusions to treat anemia, and we’ve seen both progress and setbacks in her journey. The infection continues to rage, especially in her spine, and she’s been battling fever spikes that threaten her recovery.

The Need for Extensive Treatment: Mineka’s road to recovery will require long-term care, including intensive physical therapy, reconstructive nerve surgery, and possibly paralysis treatment. This treatment will be costly, but it is her only hope for regaining some quality of life and mobility.

We are fighting for her chance to regain strength and movement. The financial burden of her care is immense, and we humbly ask for your help. Your generous donations will go toward:

  • Reconstructive nerve surgery to address the spinal cord damage.
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation to help her regain mobility in her arms and legs.
  • Long-term medical care including medications, life support, and other critical treatments.
  • Support for her young children, who are being cared for by me, her mother, during this difficult time.

How You Can Help: This is where we need your help. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a tremendous impact on Mineka's recovery journey. We are doing everything we can to advocate for her, but we cannot do this without the support of our community. Your contribution will ensure that Mineka gets the care and treatment she needs to heal and fight back from this devastating condition.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. We ask for your prayers for Mineka’s healing, strength, and comfort. Please share this campaign with your friends and family, as every share and prayer is just as important as a donation.

The Impact of Your Support: Mineka is a single mother who has always worked hard to care for her two young daughters. Now, as she battles for her life, it’s our turn to show up for her. Her daughters need her. We need her. And with your support, Mineka has the chance to fight for a better future.

Thank you so much for your prayers, love, and support. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to providing Mineka with the life-saving care she deserves.

Together, we can give Mineka a fighting chance.

With deep gratitude,
Anisia Whiting
