Medical & Financial Support for Malinda Dugan

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Mary Kruszon and I am a friend of Malinda Dugan. If you are fortunate enough to know Malinda, you know she is one of the kindest, funniest, and most down-to-earth people you could ever meet. I met and got to know Malinda after my many trips to our local CVS in Carolina Beach, where she was working just about every day prior to her next shift at Nollie's Taco Joint. I look forward to seeing her each and every time! Recently, Malinda started having chest pains, stomach pains, and back pains. Her condition progressed, leading to dizziness, lack of appetite, and coughing up black phlegm. When her condition started deteriorating, she was rushed to our local hospital and has since been monitored in the ICU. Since she has been at the hospital, she has had multiple seizures, required intubation, and her heart stopped requiring resuscitation. After many tests including an MRI, EKG, CAT Scan, Lab Panel, Spinal Tap, COVID Test, and other assessments, the doctors are still at a loss as to what has caused her condition. She is sedated with a breathing tube and feeding tube, showing minimal response to treatments. Malinda's family and friends are heartbroken and distraught, trying to find a way to offer any help they can to Malinda who is battling for her life. Malinda has the strongest work ethic out of anyone I know, working many hours between two jobs to support herself and her two beautiful cats who she cares for like they are her own children. With everything she is going through, I want to help in the one way I know how - to raise as much money as I can for her medical bills and God-willing, her recovery. If you cannot donate any money, I ask that you please keep Malinda in your thoughts and prayers for a successful recovery from this and to continue to have the strength to fight this battle. We thank you so much in advance for anything you can offer.
