41-year-old mom of two kids. I still work from home every day to help support my family, but in 2023 radiation that was supposed to treat my AVM instead destroyed part of my brain.

Now I live with seizures, tremors, memory that disappears mid-sentence, and anxiety so bad some days I can’t leave the house. I have infusions every two weeks and scans every week. I was intubated in ICU for four days, lost 30 pounds, and can’t afford simple things that used to bring me peace.

One hospital stay alone was $255,000. After insurance we still owe over $103,000, and another $28,000 just went to collections.

Every dollar keeps medicine in my body, food on my children’s table, and the internet on so I can keep working from home.

I’ve attached real proof (redacted bills, doctor notes, the frame they bolted to my head, my weight dropping from 138 to 108 lb, the intubation order) so you know this is true.

Please, if you can spare even $5, it means one more infusion, one more day with my babies, and one more paycheck I can still earn from home.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
