On Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 8th, 2022, our health-conscious, free-spirited, music-loving friend, Cheryl Rose, was on her early morning jog when she was struck by a vehicle, putting her into a battle for her life.

 

This crowdfunding/support campaign has been set up with love and hopes to help with the financial burden put on Cheryl and her family as she requires the ongoing intensive care of her medical team. Still not conscious or breathing on her own, it has become evident that Cheryl needs to be moved from her island home of Barbados to Canada, where she is a citizen and can hopefully get a broader scope of medical attention and rehabilitation. As you can imagine, the cost of a medical air ambulance along with all the necessary hospital fees will be astronomical.

 

We estimate the financial costs for neurological and rehabilitative care to exceed Canadian $1 million dollars. One quote for medical evacuation alone was approximately $85.9K CDN. Our desire is to significantly help with these financial burdens.

 

Cheryl has been a great support and asset to the community with her countless hours working and supporting students and parents, and now she needs your help.

 

Cheryl is still unable to speak to you on her own; however, on her behalf and in advance, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your donations, encouraging messages, positive vibes, prayers, love and light. 

 

Large or small, your donation is greatly appreciated, and we believe will make a difference. Thanks in advance for your generosity.

My name is Tracy Currie and I’ve known Cheryl Rose from our first year of high school, Queen’s College, Barbados, and then again at McGill University in Montréal.  I live in Northern Ontario and am still a part of a circle of friends with Cheryl.  I have started this fundraiser in support of Cheryl and her family, particularly her two sons and her sister.

Donated funds will be used to help pay for medical bills here in Canada where the family intends to move her so she can access the medical care she needs.  Funds will be needed for medical evacuation, hospital fees, neurological specialists and rehabilitation.
