Help Emily Osterby Get the Medical Care She Needs

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We are reaching out today with a heavy heart to ask for your support for Emily, a 34-year-old woman who is currently fighting for her life in the ICU. For the past 14 days, Emily has been battling severe health issues, including kidney and liver failure. She is on dialysis and requires a breathing tube to help her through this critical time.

Emily has faced unimaginable loss in her life. At just 15 years old, she lost her only sibling to cancer, and at 17, she lost her father, who was not only her parent but also her best friend. Despite these challenges, Emily has always shown incredible resilience and strength. However, her recent struggles have become overwhelming.

Having recently lost her job, Emily was uninsured when her condition deteriorated, leading to her hospitalization. As a result, she has already accrued $20,000 in debt, and the bills from her current hospital stay have barely started to trickle in. On top of this, she has car payments, phone bills, insurance, and student loans that she is unable to pay while she fights for her life.

Emily's situation is dire, but there is hope. With your generous donations, we can help provide her with the medical care she desperately needs. If she can survive the next six months, there may be a possibility of a transplant that could offer her a second chance at life.

Every dollar counts, and no contribution is too small. Your support will not only help alleviate her financial burden but will also show Emily that she is not alone in this fight. Together, we can help her on the road to recovery.

Thank you for taking the time to read Emily's story and for considering a donation to help her through this challenging time. Please share this campaign (using the hashtags below so we can keep track) with your networks to spread the word.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Judy's (Emily's mom) High School Besties
