Support Kathy

My name is Jessica and I am Kathy’s niece, she always told me I should have been her daughter, well that’s what I’m trying to be right now. This was a very different decision to make as my aunt Kathy loved her privacy and would never ask for help, but boy does she need it now!

Sometime after 6pm Saturday July 13th my Aunt Kathy took a terrible fall, locked inside her home,(she lived alone) a wellness check was done on Monday as no one could get in touch with her and she was found laying on the floor, her beloved dog by her side, with life threatening head trauma, she was alive but just barely! She was rushed to Lakeview Hospital in Mandeville where she stayed in ICU till today July 23rd, multiple EEG were done every couple of days. There has been epileptic activity inside her brain due to multiple brain bleeds, her vitals are good. She is able to breathe on her own, but is still Unresponsive. She is able to move her arms and legs, but not on command. Her eyes are open for the first time since July 15th. The bleeding in her brain is showing improvement! She has been moved to a new room (211) she has a very very long road ahead of her and we all have very high hopes for improvement but as of right now, the doctors say only time will tell what the outcome of this may be. Her doctors exact words were “ I cannot even guess.”

What I’m asking for is first your Love,thoughts and support for KB!! Second please share and/or donate!

All donations will be used for the following: Payments on her bills, such as land rent, electricity and other expenses, food for her pets, (dog, chicken and a donkey) she also has a storage unit that we haven’t found yet that will need to be paid. Although she did receive a SS check, we don’t have legal rights to use this to make some of her payments. I am going to attempt to obtain a Power of Attorney but do to the fact she can’t give consent I will have to go through the courts to do so, which will take time and come with a cost that unfortunately I don’t have:(

We have high hopes that she will recover but how much? Fully? Able to live on her own? Unable to live on her own? I do know that if she is able to live on her own she CAN NOT live in the condition she was, her camper is falling in disrepair and more than likely will need to be replaced. Worst case scenario is she will require around the clock care, then we will need to deal with that at some point.

IF the unthinkable may happen then any funds acquired will be used for such. And last, but not least any unused funds shall be donated to a local animal charity in her name. As her love her animals was unlike any other.

I will continue to update on her recovery as I get it. Please keep me, my mom and all other family and friends in your thoughts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jess.
