<div>Kendall is currently in the hospital after a major decline in her health this past week. Just days after sharing her recent videos about what she’s been experiencing, she had a seizure and was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. She was admitted and remains hospitalized as doctors work to stabilize her and help her regain basic functioning.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kendall has been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FND) — a condition where the brain struggles to send and receive signals correctly, causing real and often severe physical symptoms. FND can affect mobility, strength, speech, cognition, and overall functioning. It finally gives a name to what Kendall has been fighting for years.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Right now, Kendall has lost all mobility in the lower half of her body. She cannot walk and is working with hospital specialists to relearn basic motor functions.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kendall needs stability and support so she can focus on healing. Recovery will require extensive and ongoing physical therapy, occupational therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation as she works to rebuild strength and independence.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Kendall lives in Milwaukee with Brian and their daughter, Vera. Brian has been supporting the family while also working full-time and making sure Kendall is not facing this alone. She is surrounded by a close circle of family and friends who continue to show up for her, support her, and help carry her through this difficult journey.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How Your Support Helps</strong>

</div>

<div>Since we don’t yet know the total cost of Kendall’s treatment and support needs, and the medical bills are already coming in, we’re choosing a higher goal to cover housing, therapy, transportation, and medical care as needed. The amount is simply a precaution, not an expectation. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Funds from this GoFundMe will help with:

</div>

<div>•	groceries and basic necessities

</div>

<div>•	housing and monthly bills

</div>

<div>•	transportation and medical-related costs

</div>

<div>•	in-patient and outpatient therapy modalities

</div>

<div>•	daily essentials while she cannot work

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are a wellness provider and feel called to support Kendall through this recovery journey, your help would be deeply appreciated. Massage therapy, acupuncture, reiki, energy work, somatic therapies, bodywork, and other supportive healing modalities can play an important role in her recovery from FND as she works to regain mobility and rebuild her nervous system.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you are able to volunteer your services or offer care in any capacity, please reach out to Alla here: aliyona@me DOT com. These forms of support are deeply needed and would mean the world.

</div>
