Help Clarissa Pay Her Medical Bills!

Donation protected
My dear friend Clarissa was making herself dinner one night and had an anxiety-induced blackout that lead her to being doused with boiling water. She suffered second and third degree burns over 12% of her body, spanning most of her thighs, calves, and tops of her feet. She has had to spend about 12 days in medical care at multiple hospitals, and is currently being treated at a special burn unit in D.C. The injuries sustained were so bad that she was transferred from the Winchester Burn Unit to D.C. as they were unable to treat her properly there. 

Yesterday Clarissa underwent a 5 hour surgery for a skin graft over the worst of her burns. She is in the process of recovering from both surgery and her injuries in general. She is currently unable to walk on her own, or even leave her hospital bed. She is in constant, severe pain. Due to the extent of her burns, she will be unable to work for 2-3 months and even had to take time off from college. She will be in recovery for quite some time, possibly up to a year. As you can imagine, her medical bills are steep. She cannot work to support herself for a number of months, and her family will be struggling to pay off the medical debt for the foreseeable future. Anything you can give to help her get back to a normal life and tackle the immense medical bills she has would be deeply appreciated. 

Thank you, we appreciate your kindness. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
