Hi, my name is Joyce Merchant. I'm fundraising for my daughter, Jennifer McLaren.

Jennifer, her husband and two teenage sons live in Anaheim, CA.

Jennifer has been suffering from headaches that were getting worse, so she went in to have them checked out, receiving some concerning news on May 27. Since then, she's had MRIs and an angiogram (during which she had a seizure during recovery). Her driver's license has been pulled due to the seizure.

On June 29th, the neurosurgeon made an urgent referral to UCLA. The recommendation is for a conscious craniotomy so that they can check for deficits during the procedure.

The expected recovery time after the procedure is a minimum of three months, during which time she will be unable to work.

The family is struggling during this scary time as Jennifer deals with the issues with this medical issue!

Any help would be appreciated!
