Hi, my name is Jason and I’m writing this for my daughter, Victoria. On September 7th, Tori suffered a hemorrhagic stroke due to an AVM while out of town with her mother and had to undergo an emergency brain procedure. While the surgery was a success, she is facing a lengthy and difficult rehabilitation due to the paralysis of her entire left side. We are asking for your support with the mounting medical bills and for your help with funding the rehab process.

She recovered well from the initial surgery and was moved from the Neuroscience ICU to a regular room in the Neuroscience wing of the hospital. After her first round of light physical therapy, however, she was rushed into another emergency procedure. A pulmonary embolism so large it actually spanned the archway between her left and right lungs was removed and her second stint in the ICU began on September 12th.

Tori is a 25 year old ray of sunshine who flashes huge smiles to every passing stranger. She’s the one her friends and family can always rely on to help pick them up and shower them with positivity when they need it, and now she needs us to return the favor. Please know that anything you can do is appreciated. Whether it’s a donation to help with expenses or sharing this fundraiser with everyone on your Friends list or simply lifting her up in your prayers, an act of positivity is all we ask for our Tori. Thank you from her mom, her little sister, and me!
