Help U.S. Navy Veteran Recover from Life-Changing Surgery

Donation protected
Elli Miller, affectionately known as “Mama Bear” in her local Prescott and Chino Valley communities, urgently needs our help.

On June 18, 2024, Elli underwent an incredibly painful and invasive spinal fusion surgery to repair severe nerve damage in her neck. This life-changing operation at Oasis Hospital in Phoenix, AZ, involved her entire cervical spine and requires a minimum 1-year recovery process.

Elli is a proud United States Navy Veteran, a former EMT, and a beloved figure in both Prescott and Chino Valley. She is a mom, grandma, daughter, sister, and friend who has always been there for others with a warm smile and a kind heart. Now, she is facing the toughest battle of her life.

Since the surgery, Elli has had to wear a restrictive collar that limits her movement and prevents her from driving. As a single-income earner, she has been unable to work and will remain out of work for several more weeks. This has placed a significant financial strain on her household.

Elli’s situation is urgent. She has dedicated her life to serving her country and her community. Now, it’s our turn to serve her. By donating, you can help alleviate the financial burden during her recovery and allow her to focus on healing.

Please consider making a donation to support Elli’s road to recovery. Your generosity will make a world of difference for a cherished community member and a dedicated Navy Veteran.

Elli's sister Kimberlee will ensure every dollar raised will go directly to Elli, helping her cover essential bills and offset the income lost due to her inability to work after this life-altering surgery. Your support will provide the financial relief she desperately needs during this challenging time.

Donate now and share Elli’s story. Together, we can help “Mama Bear” roar back to health!
