Holly Gilbert’s wellness support group.

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits on behalf of our dear friend Holly Gilbert, a kind and caring woman who is currently facing an unimaginable challenge.

Just last week, Holly — who is 28 weeks pregnant — suffered a sudden brain aneurysm. She was rushed into emergency medical care and is on the path to recovery but will have to undergo another surgery for the second unruptured aneurysm once her baby is born. The road ahead is going to be long, uncertain, and challenging.

Holly has no immediate family nearby and will need substantial support both medically, physically, energetically, and emotionally in the coming weeks and months. As she recovers from this traumatic event, she will also be preparing to bring her baby into the world — a task that would be difficult under the best of circumstances, but is now overwhelmingly complex.

We are raising funds to help Holly with:

• Ongoing medical support and rehabilitation

• Postnatal care and support for her and her baby

• Essential living expenses while she is unable to work

• Building a network of care around her during this critical time

Holly has always been the kind of person to offer help without hesitation. Now, she needs us. Every contribution — big or small — will make a real difference in giving Holly, her family and her new baby the best possible start under incredibly challenging circumstances.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping Holly in your thoughts! 

With love and gratitude,

Naomi and Holly’s support network
