Help for Crista and Kevin during hospitalization
Donation protected
Parkinson's Disease is a viscous beast. Crista was moved today to a rehab center in Spokane after spending 2.5 weeks in the hospital with complications from Parkinson's and her deep-brain stimulation surgery this summer. Kevin and Crista are well-known and respected horse trainers in the region. Crista hasn't worked for several years as she fights this brutal disease. Her recent health crisis has kept Kevin from giving riding lessons and training horses for more than a month. As Crista's paid caregiver, he also isn't getting income while she's in the hospital or rehab center. Kevin is doing double duty between the hospital and the farm but needs help with living expenses and bills that are piling up during this medical emergency.
Please consider donating to help support Crista and Kevin. Both have spent decades helping people become better horsemen, especially generations of children who forever will have the love of horses.
The brain remains a medical mystery and Crista's neurologists are having a hard time finding a balance between the medications and the DBS. Crista is weak and her cognition comes and goes. Yet she's strong-willed and motivated and we know she will ride again soon.
Please help during this difficult and overwhelming time.
Kevin and Crista and their family appreciate the outpouring of love and support. It's difficult for horse people to ask for help. But together, we can make a difference.
Please share with your friends so we can all support Crista and Kevin.
With much gratitude.
