Hi, my name is Katie Ledford. My mother-in-law, Frances is currently at Mission Hospital battling what started as Covid Pneumonia. Since she was admitted to the hospital, she has faced many hurdles and setbacks. She is undergoing dialysis three times a week, is on a ventilator, and has not been very responsive thus far.

Frances works at the Covid Call Center in Franklin, NC. This started as a temp job, that was extended. She is not receiving any income while she is in the hospital. Frances has always done everything she can for others, and I want to give her and her husband, Kent, a sense of comfort and security. I do not want Kent to worry about work so he can be with her. She has a long road ahead of her in the hospital. She will also have a long road of recovery once she is home. Any little bit will help, but ultimately your prayers are what we need the most!

The outpouring of love and support we have received for Frances, Mom, Mimi, is overwhelming. We need her to come home! She has 3 grandchildren who she loves dearly and they need their Mimi. She has two children, my husband Brent, and my sister-in-law, Brittany. We cannot imagine life without her. Frances has a brother, Joe, and a sister, Nancy. They love her endlessly and need her too!
