A little help for Joyce

Donation protected

All of us need some help at different times in our lives and unfortunately  ... Joyce Thume needs a little helping hand.... 

Joyce went to Hawaii to visit her son Joe , daughter in law Skylar and her grand daughter who was celebrating her 2nd birthday. Joyce starting feeling on unwell on her flight to Hawaii and was severely sick before being checked into the hospital for 8 days 2 of them in ICU very close to dying. After more than a week they figured out that she was previously mis-diagnosed with  a less common form of strep and ended up being a rare bacteria in her bloodstream (sepsis) causing her organs to shut down. She has finally been released and has a PICC line so she can receive daily antibiotics as an out patient for 4  weeks. She will not be able to travel until her lungs are clear enough to travel without the need for oxygen. As you all know Joyce is self employed and has no means to make money for necessities and rent when she gets back. We are not even sure she will be strong enough physically to get back to massage right away. It is not easy asking for help and this has been a really difficult month for her and her family. Please donate what you can and only if you can.  This whole experience has been very humbling for Joyce.
