Hey friends!
Many of y'all know Liz of Whiffahugs and how awesome she is as a person. Her entire brand is centered around kindness and helping others. She is always the first person to jump in when someone else is in need, but is also the last person that will ever ask anyone for help when it comes to herself. A few of her friends got together because she definitely needs some of that love and kindness she's shown us all these years returned to her right now.
Liz has been dealing with neurological struggles on and off (mostly on) over the last three decades. It came to a breaking point over the summer and she has finally gotten into an intensive outpatient clinic that is helping her brain heal itself. She is currently unable to work due to her condition, and she is also the primary caretaker for her elderly mother. This has become incredibly difficult on them financially and they need us to rally around them!
What the money will go to:
• The clinic is estimated at about $500 out of pocket per visit, and each round of treatment is around 12 visits. That equals out to about $6k per treatment round. Liz is unsure how many rounds she will need, only that she will need to be there until she is better.
• On top of that, each time that Liz is away at the clinic, she needs to hire someone to take care of her mom at home while she is out.
• For now Liz's brother is driving her to and from the clinic each day, but he will be leaving town for work starting in September. This means Liz will need to Uber to and from the clinic, and that costs about $50-$70 one way.
For now, we have set the goal at what it would cost to go through 2 rounds of treatment plus some to help with the other expenses. We will adjust as needed, but know that any amount no matter how small will make a huge difference in Liz and her mom's life. Thank you all so much in advance!
