Good Juju for Humans is raising money to support a fellow human/friend in need. Six months ago a life changing event placed our friend in the hospital after she had collapsed, had a Tonic Clonic/Grandmal Seizure and was found unconscious by her young daughter. She continued to have seizures, lose consciousness, along with her ability to breath on her own. She was hospitalized after an emergency MRI discovered a possible Arteriovenous Malformation (Brain AVM) This is a rare genetic disorder which causes blood vessels to improperly form. It is the leading cause of stroke in young people.

Because of her seizures, she is no longer able to drive. She instantly lost her work. She is facing chronic debilitating symptoms, a loss of income, and has no local family support network. She is a full time single mom. This has had a major impact on her children. She has been focused on keeping the household expenses paid, arranging transportation for her children to and from different schools, and maintaining a level of stability within her day to day. She doesn’t have the financial means to focus on needed treatments for her health. Good Juju for Humans is raising money with the hope that this can offer her support for the next year, alleviate some financial stress and allow her to focus on her own healing journey. In addition, Good Juju for Humans is putting 30% of all products sold between now and the end of the year towards her Health Treatments.

We respect her wish to remain anonymous, but would like to share her words:

Everywhere I turn these days, there is something needed. A hand to hold, an ear to listen, the sparing of spare change…

I don’t always have the energy, the right words, the spare change …but I know how wonderful it feels to give where I can, sometimes in little/often unseen ways. Sometimes I don’t have anything to offer other than the warmth of a smile and kindness. I have always valued my privacy. I also think that the act of giving doesn’t always need a name to it. I wish to remain anonymous here because my brain these days needs more quiet, less interaction, less noise, less talking, more space to hear myself as I navigate what feels like a large mountain, one day at a time. I feel so humbled by this challenge that has created an opportunity to embrace change, practice gratitude and grace with a deeper appreciation for life. I’m incredibly tender right now and need the space to be so. What I need most is support with a practical plan for financial survival. I also need to support the vital energies of my mind, body and spirit as it moves through trauma and adapts to a new way of life. Being a great and present mom is one of my highest priorities. I want to be there for my kids but I need to be healthy in order to do so. My hope would be to use part of the money donated here towards therapies to help my body heal. I am so grateful for any support offered through this fundraiser. Having this support will be a pillar to my children and help stabilize my life.
