Help Jo Heal and Make Dances Again
Don protégé
Let's start with thank you: Thank you for being here.
Jo is an artist, a choreographer, a dancer, a hiker, a tree-climber, a gardener, an organizer, a hard worker, a helper, and a devoted mom and friend... And she is currently debilitated due to complications from neck injuries. For the past few weeks, it has been impossible for Jo even to be fully upright for any length of time without unbearable pain. This intense pain is accompanied by cold sweats, nausea, and other alarming symptoms. She has not been able to work or drive since the beginning of July. While in the hospital recently, her living situation came to an end, so she's in need of temporary housing and help getting some things moved into storage and some to her new soon-to-be home.
Jo had planned to build a tiny home out of a school bus for long-term affordable housing, but her degenerative condition has advanced too quickly to do the work herself. Many of the supplies are purchased, but she needs help making it into a functional space where she can recover and heal.
Jo's care is transferring from Kaiser to Emory. She's waiting for the referrals to be finalized so appointments can be made. She can do very little for herself for the time being and needs our help and support to make it through the coming months. With medical bills and living expenses accumulating while unable to work or drive, Jo needs both physical and financial support. She's filing for disability. But as we all know, that process takes time.
Please do what you can to help...
We've set up a CaringBridge site for Jo here.
Thank you for extending kindness and compassion during this difficult time, and please keep watch for updates about Jo's journey.
