Help Support my Sister, Alexis Kalcevic-Repass!

Dear family and friends,

Asking for help is not an easy thing to do. On behalf of my sister, I want to help and try to take away the worry and financial burden that she and her family face with upcoming finances (medical bills) since her aneurysm surgery.

Alexis Kalcevic-Repass is a wife and mother to 4 beautiful kids, a daughter, a sister, and an aunt! She is a woman who loves her family and would do anything for them to also being a badass working mother.

Last Tuesday, November 14, she was experiencing a migraine that she typically does not get, which led to concern. After being talked into going to the ER at Jefferson Hospital, her CT scan showed an aneurysm, and she would have to be transported to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Alexis was then admitted into Presbyterian Hospital's ICU. The doctors ordered her an MRI and Angiogram. These scans showed a Serpentine Aneurysm that was bigger than the size of a golf ball. The aneurysm was no joke, and the best and only plan of action was performing a bypass.

Her neurosurgeon, who we believe was an angel in disguise, promised us he would do everything in his power to keep her safe. After going through a 12-hour surgery, which was a success, the chances of her recovering were 50/50. We didn't know the outcome since the aneurysm was more significant than what the surgeon saw on the scan.

Alexis is strong and a fighter, and thankfully, after a week in the ICU, she showed tremendous improvement but will need to continue physical therapy and occupational therapy for months. She is home resting with her family today but will face some upcoming medical obstacles.

Suppose you or someone you know has unexpectedly gone through something like this. In that case, you might understand the worry and fear that comes during and after a medical emergency when trying to figuring out how to financially navigate the next few months.

So, as a family, we're asking for help to ease the burden of finances. Anything helps, and if you can't, we understand. Instead, we ask that you keep Alexis in your thoughts and send love and prayers for a full, speedy recovery.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your consideration, love, and prayers! ❤️
