Juana’s Stroke Recovery

On Sunday March 31st our beloved sister Juana Padilla suffered a Pontine Stroke on the Pons area of her brain due to intracerebral hemorrhaging. Since then, she has spent 11 days in and out of the neurological ICU in Springfield, MO. While her prognosis is still unknown she is experiencing paralysis on the right side of her body which is effecting her eye, arm and leg movement. She is also experiencing speech deficits as well as swallowing. She will have a long road of physical and occupational therapy ahead of her, but we are confident that her strong will and her faith will get her through this. 

Juana is the loving mother of three boys; Brayden (age 9), Heziel (age 7) and Layden (age 3). She is also a devoted wife to Alejandro for 11 years. As the main provider for her family, Juana is a very hard working woman. She has worked for Famous Dave's BBQ in Branson, MO for 12 years as a host and server.

Under normal circumstances Juana would never ask for help but due to the current situation we are stepping in to try to help her as much as possible. We are asking for donations to help with medical expenses as well as relive some of the financial burden from being unable to work.

Thank you for taking the time to read about our sister and considering donating. We will be posting updates as we learn more while going through this process.
