Fundraiser for Joey Tyra and Family

Donation protected
Joey Tyra and his family (Jen, Joe, and sister Emma) are continuing their battle with Joey's very rare form of epilepsy, Rasmussen Encephalitis.

As many of you know, Joey has been in and out of the hospital for many months. On February 19, Joey will undergo major brain surgery: a partial hemispherectomy. This surgery should stop the seizures but will require 5 weeks or so of recovery and rehab. In order to move forward with the necessary care for RE, Joey and his family will have to stay in Cleveland during that time.  This means relocation costs, loss of wages, and medical bills for the family. This GoFundMe effort is our way to help ease their burden - any little bit helps! Thank you so much in advance!

You can follow the details of Joey's treatment and recovery on Joey Tyras Journey  on Facebook.
