Support Laura’s Recovery from Meningoencephalitis

Donation protected
After two ER visits, a massive seizure, and a raging days-long 104 degree fever, our dear Laura McGrail was diagnosed with HSV1 Meningoencephalitis on 3/21 and spent the next 9 days in critical care at the hospital. She’s now home on continued IV medication with the help of home health nurses and incredible friends providing around-the-clock support.

Although she’s making great progress after a life-threatening couple of weeks, it will take many more weeks, if not months, for Laura’s brain to heal. In the meantime, medical bills are piling up, and her income as a self-employed wedding videographer is taking a huge hit.

So many amazing people have reached out about how they can help, so some friends thought we’d put together an easy way for anyone to contribute to Laura’s acute and ongoing financial needs… With your help of ANY amount, we can ease her stress during this time when her brain needs to rest!

Funds to go towards:
  • $9100 insurance deductible
  • copays + medications
  • subcontractors to keep Laurel Wedding Videography running
  • integrative medicine to heal Laura’s immune system and prevent reoccurrence

Gratefully,
