Help Amber and Family Through Medical Crisis

Help Our Family Through a Medical Crisis

Hi, I’m Ramin, a father and husband from Brooklyn, NY, reaching out during an incredibly tough time. On June 2, 2025, my wife Amber was admitted to the ER following a series of severe strokes due to a rare condition called Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome (RCVS), triggered by long-term health challenges, leaving her in critical condition for an entire month. This sudden medical crisis has left her with severe and debilitating brain damage, including profound aphasia and apraxia, making it challenging for her to speak or care for herself.

Amber is now at the beginning of a long and uncertain road to recovery that will require months if not years of intensive, specialized care. She is a fighter, but she cannot do this alone.

I’ve been managing her care, supporting our 11-year-old son Nico, and handling mounting medical bills. My family medical leave has ended, cutting my income. We’re facing hospital costs, potential long-term care expenses, and the need to relocate to a safer, more supportive home. Our apartment isn’t suitable, and I’m exploring options like selling or subletting, but these decisions are on hold without legal guardianship, which is still pending.

We need your help to cover:

  • Medical bills and rehabilitation costs (estimated $20,000+).
  • Moving expenses to a new, accessible home (~$10,000).
  • Daily living costs as I transition back to work (~$15,000 for 3 months).
  • Transportation and occasional lodging near her next rehabilitation facility (expected within a month).
  • Creature comforts and supplements for her stay in rehab (e.g., brain activity materials, new clothes, takeout).
  • Nico’s back-to-school list and other needs.
  • Future supplemental care (e.g., recovery camps and additional rehabilitation services).
  • Legal fees ($7,500) associated with seeking guardianship/POA to manage Amber’s affairs.

These needs are mounting, and while we’re grateful for any support, we’ve set our goal at $60,000 to cover these critical expenses. Your generosity will help us navigate this challenging time and focus on Amber’s recovery and Nico’s well-being. If you can’t donate, sharing this page would mean the world. Thank you for your kindness—we’re so grateful for any help during this difficult journey.
