Help Amy Smile Again

On Sunday, January 12, 2025, my beautiful, loving soul sister and best friend Amy was found by her family unable to speak or stand. She was rushed to Henry Heywood Hospital in Gardner where she was diagnosed with a blood clot in her brain and life flighted to UMass Worcester.

If she survives the brain swelling and other complications, she is facing a long road back. She will be unable to work her new part time job teaching physical fitness in Amherst, or her fulltime job at the Gardner CAC.

All the money raised will go towards Amy's medical expenses and covering the family's everyday needs, including ramps, food, therapy, and the kids' schooling. A single ramp can cost upwards of $4k, not to mention gas to get back and forth to therapy, potential modifications to living spaces, the medical bills that are going to rack up, and everyday living expenses like grocery bills for two teenagers.

Amy's smile lit up a room. Right now she is unable to smile. Please Help Amy Smile Again. Anything will help. There is power in numbers.
