Help for Holly

To know this beautiful face, is to know joy, kindness, unconditional love, generosity, and an indomitable spirit, even in the face of great adversity. This is unfortunately where we find our dear friend Holly Phares, after an infection on the skin of her ankle took a turn for the worse, and spread to the bone. 
Doctors at Jefferson Hospital have performed the necessary surgery to help save her foot, but she now faces an extended hospital stay as her rehabilitation and physical therapy become paramount. It's more than likely she will  transfer to another facility, or much to her chagrin a nursing home, where she will continue her PT and OT. Her beloved Comfort Cottage is not wheelchair accessible so any rehab there seems unlikely.  She has multiple IVs running very strong antibiotics into her system on a regular basis. This treatment will continue for 6 weeks.
Due to the soaring cost of health insurance, Holly finds herself uninsured and facing what is sure to be extensive medical bills and lost wages. She works many jobs as a musician, and makes just enough money to keep her from qualifying for Medicare. She is working with a social worker and others from the hospital to apply for as much assistance as possible.
Holly wants you to know she is in great hands at Jefferson. She feels safe and cared for, and has miraculously ended up with a private room. She is overwhelmed by the outpouring of love she has received and is eternally grateful. I spent almost an hour on the phone with her tonight, and haven't laughed that hard in a long time.  

My name is Ryan Fleming. I am her friend, student and colleague. She has thousands of these friends all over the world, and cherishes each one of us. Won't you please consider donating to help Holly navigate this very stressful and scary time in her life. Money raised here would mean more than just bills paid, it would mean peace of mind and a return to the life she so cherishes.

Blessing to you all!
Ryan
