Help Rebecca Breathe Easy Again

Help Rebecca Breathe Freely Again Hi, my name is Jennifer, and I’m fundraising for my sister, Rebecca, who urgently needs life-changing surgery to repair a large septal perforation. For the past 10 years, Rebecca has seen over 13 different ENT specialists, but none could treat her complex condition — until recently. We finally found a surgeon in California (where we used to live) who not only can perform the surgery but has given Rebecca something she hasn’t had in a long time: hope. This surgery will restore her ability to breathe normally and give her life back. Right now, she can’t work due to constant complications. She requires a humidifier at all times and often steams her sinuses multiple times a day just to manage basic breathing. After chemical exposure in a former apartment building, she also developed asthma, making everyday exposures like perfumes or cigarette smoke dangerous and severely limiting her ability to do simple things — like seeing a movie, dining out, or attending a concert. The past year has been especially hard. We lost our mother last August, and navigating Rebecca’s health crisis without her has been even more challenging. Like our mom, Rebecca is a nurse — and she’s devoted her life to helping others. Now she needs our help. We are raising funds to cover her surgery and travel expenses. Because flying could severely impact her breathing, we will be driving from Virginia to California. We’ll also need to stay there for about a month for pre- and post-operative care. Unfortunately, our family cannot cover all the costs alone. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to getting Rebecca the care she needs. Please consider donating, sharing this fundraiser on your social media, and helping us give Rebecca the chance to live fully again. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions — I’m happy to share more details, including a full breakdown of expenses. Thank you for your kindness and support.
