Help our sister battling meningitis
Donation protected
Our sister, Kara, has been battling meningitis for almost 2 months now. Meningitis, both viral and bacterial, is a serious and rare medical condition that causes an infection of the fluid around your brain and spinal cord. Lasting effects and complications are also highly likely including sepsis and may require long term supportive care.
Kara has been experiencing debilitating headaches, vomiting and body pain, all while fighting and advocating for doctors and insurance to take her seriously and do proper testing and treatment so she can get better.
Kara is a single mother to three kids, but because of the severity of her illness, has been completely unable to work and has been temporarily let go of her caretaker job until she gets better.
While she has family and close friends helping her as much as possible, we are asking for your help as well. Please consider a small donation to help us pay her rent and utilities that are past due. The last thing we want her worrying about is a roof over her children's heads.
