Hi, my name is Anne Privette, and I’m organizing this GoFundMe for our neighbor, Megan Smith. Megan has been hospitalized throughout the month of December and is currently receiving care at the University of Chicago Hospital.

We are raising funds to help bring her safely to a facility closer to home. Megan is on a ventilator and has a tracheostomy, which requires specialized and costly professional medical transportation. Any support—whether through a donation or by sharing this page—means so much to Megan and her family. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and hope during this time.
