<div>On what was meant to be a joyful adventure in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, my husband — James, better known as Big Sexy BerryWhite — suffered a serious and unexpected stroke.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Big Sexy, you know the energy he brings: husband, friend, poet, actor, writer, speaker, coach, and the heartbeat of every room. At just 53, Big was living his purpose — lighting up stages and hearts through spoken word, improv, and public speaking workshops we often led together. Now, he’s facing the greatest challenge of his life — and we need your help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>*A Strong Prognosis — But Recovery Isn’t Free*</strong>
</div>
<div>Thanks to fast medical care and his unshakable spirit, Big's prognosis is excellent: doctors estimate a 95% recovery within six months — if he receives consistent therapy, medication, and nutrition support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because we’re in Mexico, recovery comes with steep out-of-pocket costs. Even with lower prices than in the U.S., comprehensive stroke care includes:
</div>
<div>•	IV and vitamin therapy to support brain and vascular healing
</div>
<div>•	Physical therapy 2–3x per week
</div>
<div>•	CT scan, MRI, and doppler screenings
</div>
<div>•	Wheelchair transport and in-home mobility assistance
</div>
<div>•	High-protein nutritional supplements
</div>
<div>•	6–8 doctor visits monthly to monitor stroke-related risks
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Estimated 6-month recovery costs: $14,000 USD</strong>
</div>
<div>It’s more than we can carry alone — but with your help, we don’t have to.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Your donation, no matter the size, goes directly toward:
</div>
<div>•	Critical physical therapy sessions
</div>
<div>•	Medical imaging and follow-up care
</div>
<div>•	Nutritional support for muscle and brain recovery
</div>
<div>•	Transportation and in-home care
</div>
<div>•	Giving James the best chance to return to his calling: uplifting others
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’ve ever been moved by Big’s voice, his hugs, his humor, or his art — this is your moment to show up for him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Donate. Share. Send Love.</em></strong>
</div>
<div>If you can’t give financially, please share this page and send love, prayers, or words of encouragement. They mean more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Big Sexy can’t wait to get back on his feet, mic in hand, doing what he loves most: bringing light to the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Nilla
</div>
