Help Karen

Donation protected
Hi. My name is Jodi Bitton. I have had the pleasure of having one of the best friends a girl could ask for. For the past 12 years there’s nothing Karen wouldn’t do to help me or someone in need. Now it’s my turn.

Mid December, Karen’s husband suffered a heart attack while at work. After his admission to the hospital he underwent quadruple bypass surgery. As his caretaker during this time, Karen unexpectedly had to stop providing help to me in my business to care for her husband. This loss of income was to only be temporary. Karen had taken on a part time job with me just weeks after being terminated from her full time employment for not adhering to the vaccine requirements. In addition to taking on a new full time position after her termination. She was doing all she could to keep her head above water.

Because of a once horrible reaction to a vaccine in her early 20’s that has left years of continued medical oversight and surgeries, Karen’s doctors all agreed it was far too risky for her to get vaccinated after developing vasculitis from a previous vaccine. She was advised not to get the vaccine. Staying safe and adhering to all other requirements, Karen managed to stay well up until her husbands unexpected surgery. At some point Karen was exposed to COVID after his admission and became horribly ill on 12/17/2021. This illness has taken a toll on her in ways that are unexplainable. In addition to the worsening of her chronic illness caused by a once known vaccine injury, Karen developed Covid pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital. All the while a new cardiac surgical patient (her husband), a juvenile diabetic (her daughter), and herself battled Covid. All miserably ill. Some vaccinated.

Karens situation has worsened. After 3 weeks of battling this horrible virus, she is now severely anemic and requiring transfusion. It appears the long term effects of Covid can cause a depletion of the red blood cell activity and severe anemia. With her religion, Karen can’t be transfused. She will be seeing a hematologist next week for further medical care, but is still horribly sick and unable to work. Her new full time employer has terminated her for her absence while trying to rehabilitate herself. Covid has taken a toll on her health, household, and her ability to provide for her family. This is an incredibly horrible time for her.

Aside from ongoing necessities and bills, Karen is looking at an astronomical medical expense with all 3 of them being hospitalized. Karen, her husband, and her daughter have all been admitted to the hospital within the last month. When it rains it pours and I want to hold the umbrella.

I am doing what any friend would for someone they love. Anything and I mean anything you can do to help would be beyond a blessing. Karen would give the shirt off her back and has a heart of gold. She is suffering in ways I can’t explain or understand. All I want to do is give her one less thing to worry about. Groceries, utility costs, medical bills, and so on. Without an income her family is in dire straights.

Please help her.
In any way you can.
In any amount you can.

With Love,

Jodi
