Help Amanda Hooks (Molinaro) Through Her Health Journey

Amanda is a loving single mom of two, a dedicated member of our local theater community, and a constant source of support, love, and joy for everyone she meets. No matter what's happening in her own life, she's always there for those who need her.

But now, Amanda needs our help.

In June 2024, a routine CAT scan revealed an aneurysm in Amanda's right carotid artery. She underwent an angiogram and had a stent placed, a procedure that went well but required her to stay on blood thinners. Just a few months later, in September, she began experiencing severe abdominal pain, which turned out to be gallstones and inflammation in her gallbladder. Unfortunately, the blood thinners she's on prevent her from having surgery to remove her gallbladder, so she's had to endure multiple procedures, including having a tube placed to drain her gallbladder.

Amanda has now been hospitalized three times due to the severe belly pain/gallbladder inflammation, resulting in weeks of missed work. Despite the pain and the challenges, she has shown incredible strength and optimism, continuing to work as much as she can in her roles as an office assistant at a local chiropractic office and as a cleaner for elderly clients in the community.

How Your Support Can Help:

These donations will go directly toward Amanda's medical expenses, as well as non-medical bills, groceries, and other necessities while she focuses on healing. She has already accumulated substantial medical bills, and without income from her missed work, any support can make a world of difference.

Amanda has been there for so many of us in her community, and now it's our turn to be there for her. Any contribution, whether it's a financial donation, sharing this post, or leaving a message of support, would mean so much. Let's rally around Amanda to help her through this challenging time and give back a fraction of the love she has shared with all of us.

Thank you for anything you're able to give, and for helping Amanda through this journey.
