Lisa Howland and family.
Donation protected
On Sunday December 16th at 5:25 PM Lisa Howland went into cardiac arrest. Her girls Kennedy, Kelcie and Khloe were all home, her husband Rick and Kristopher were almost in the house having just finished running to the store after fishing earlier in the day with Kristopher and Khloe. Rick just pulled into the driveway when his phone rang, it was Khloe she was hysterical saying Lisa just fell and they thought she was having a seizure. Rick ran into the house and told Kelcie dial 911 (she had already dialed 911) he asked Kennedy what had happened she said that Lisa slumped to the ground. She had already moved Lisa flat on the floor and checked her airway, she still heard a faint heartbeat. Rick could not find a pulse and then Lisa's heartbeat could no longer be heard. The 911 operator told Rick to start CPR. Rick was ready to move in to begin chest compressions but Kennedy was ready and in position and said I know what to do, I am trained. (all the girls are CPR certified). Kennedy began chest compressions and continued CPR for several minutes until the the EMTs took over.

Any money we raise will support Lisa and her family. At this point the funding goal is set to the minimum for gofundme. Lisa remains in critical condition in the ICU. God willing, assuming that treatment goes as planned, Lisa will have short term and long term rehabilitation needs. The finacial impact of her illness and rehabilitation needs remain to be determined and also how that will impact the family financially. Lisa and Rick have 4 children and are both full time employees. As a result, there will be a loss in household income. As we understand more about the family's situation we will update her story and the funding goal appropriately with the hopes that it remains low. Please keep Lisa and her family in your thoughts and prayers. And thank you for all of your support.
