Hi my name is Bianca, and I'm raising funds for my best friend, Joanne "Jo" Kenny.
On the 9th of July I received a call from Jo's sister saying she had suffered a brain clot and had a stroke!
I was not at all expecting that on a Sunday morning, hearing that my 32 year old best friend had just had a stroke and was flown to RPA.
Jo was transferred from Mudgee to RPA in Sydney, then to Dubbo when she was no longer an ICU patient, and now is in Lourdes rehabilitation in Dubbo for an extended stay (likely months).
Myself and many others who love Jo have been scratching our heads about how we can help her. It's awful to feel so helpless when someone you love is going through hell and back.
After chatting with Jo's family, we agreed a gofundme would help Joanne significantly.
Jo is a much loved and respected teacher at Cudgegong Valley School, and unfortunately is not likely to return to work this year, and we are unsure how next year looks for her.
Your generosity would help fund things like:
- Ongoing Rehabilitation
- Her ongoing therapies such as physio, personal training, occupational therapy, speech therapy etc
- Home modifications when Jo eventually is able to to return home
- Allowing Jo to recover
As you can imagine, being away from home, in rehab hospital for the foreseeable future, is not something we thought would ever happen, and especially not to someone as wonderful as Joanne.
So if you can, big or small, this would be such a wonderful help to Jo.
