My mother, Amy MacDonald unfortunately had a stroke on the 23rd of March, followed by brain surgery, intensive care, and eventually rehab. She is absolutely the most loving woman I know, she went back to school when myself and my two siblings were young and since then has devoted so much of her time to caring for others and putting positivity into the world, especially working in hospice care for the last few years at Vermont Respite House. Now this so loving women has staples in her head and the inability to move the left side of her body. Recovery will certainly be tough, but she is much tougher and will undoubtedly make it through. Luckily, insurance will cover most of this process, although there is still the matter of a rather large deductible as well as improvements and adaptions that need to be made to the house in order for her to come home, costs which my family would struggle greatly to pay for on our own. Growing up I have seen both my mother and father, Michael Vita, consistently giving to others whenever and whatever they can, even if it can only be in the form of emotional support and love. Now it's my parent's, my sibling's, and my turn to ask for help. If you can afford to donate any bit of money my family and I would appreciate it more than I could possibly express.
