Early Thursday morning February 20th, my family received devastating news as my aunt was taken from work by ambulance to the ICU for immediate brain surgery. This was so sudden and completely unexpected leaving us devastated and in shock. We are unsure at the moment what caused this amidst all the tests and scans currently being done. She is the most energetic, loving mom to 3 wonderful boys, wife, co-worker, and the most humorous person I've ever been around, making it absolutely heartbreaking to see her like this.

Although there are still a lot of unknowns we were told by her doctor she collapsed due to a blood clot in her brain, causing her to have a stroke. Since Thursday morning, we've been lucky enough to have slight communication with her and seen her ability to move at least what we know right now one side of her body.

As you may know, the recovery from a stroke is immense, causing significant medical bills in treatment and recovery including therapy, so we are asking for any donations right now to help cover her road to recovery. It breaks my heart to see her like this as well as my family in such state of distress so if all you can do is pray for her and my family, it would be so appreciated.

With love,
