Cassie ( Charlie ) and Chris

Donation protected


Hi, my name is Sarah and I am trying to raise funds for Cassie and Chris. As some of you may know Cassie was rushed to Children's hospital in Vancouver from Nelson about 2 weeks ago. She was not feeling well and somehow, while she was coughing, ripped a small tear in her esophagus which quickly became infected and caused her brain to swell. The amazing staff at Children's hospital managed to diagnose the problem and are currently working on her recovery plan.
However Cassie suffered a fairly severe brain injury and requires extensive physiotherapy. She is able to stand up and sit down but still requires help to walk at this point. Her short term memory has been irreparably damaged as well and so she is going through OT and physio for that as well.
Chris (Cassie's father) has been by her side and will continue to be her rock through this process. Currently funding for him is running out and he is going to need support from us to pull through and bring Cassie home. There is no timeline right now as to how long he will have to stay in Vancouver but he needs money to get around the city, for food and while he is there he has no income so he also is trying to cover his regular bills at home. Cassie is also a type 1 diabetic as well as celiac, and Dr's at Children's have changed her insulin to one that is working much better for her but the cost is not covered at 10 dollars a dose once she is home. Things roll out of control quickly when your life if turned upside-down. Chris and Cassie have been through a lot in the past year and Chris was just beginning to get back on top of things. I am hoping we can raise enough money so that we can get Cassie home and not have the added stress of financial downfall. If you can help, please donate and share this post. If you would prefer to donate directly to Chris so that he gets 100% of your donation you can etransfer him directly by messaging me privately and I will give you his email address.
