My name is Brandi Webber and in a devastating turn of events my mom, Karen Callison, had her life forever changed when she suddenly went unconscious and slipped into a rare, mysterious coma. It took doctors several days to pinpoint the cause, leaving our family in a state of constant worry and uncertainty. The emotional toll has been immense, as we have stood by her side through this terrifying experience, hoping intensely for her to wake up. The survival rate for this type of coma is grim, but Karen beat the odds and woke up.

The road ahead is still long. The cost of her coma care alone is projected to reach nearly $60,000, a financial burden that she and our family simply cannot bear alone. But this is just the beginning. Karen now faces extended hospitalization, followed by intensive physical therapy and occupational therapy to regain strength and independence. These therapies are vital for her recovery but come with their own set of costs.

After her rehabilitation, Karen will need specialized home care and medical devices to support her quality of life as she continues to heal. We are dedicated to ensuring she has the best care possible, but the financial strain is overwhelming.

Karen has been so strong throughout this whole ordeal, but the worry about finances is something she shouldn’t have to carry while she focuses on her recovery. Our goal is to help ease that burden and allow Karen to focus solely on healing—without the constant stress of mounting medical bills.

We’re asking for your help to support our mom during this difficult time. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward her medical expenses, hospital stays, therapies, and long-term care needs. Your generosity will make a tremendous difference in our mom’s recovery, and it will mean the world to her and our family.

Together, we can help Mom take the next steps toward healing and reclaiming her life. Thank you for your support.
