Hi friends and kind spirits,

We're organizing this on behalf of our friend/sister, Megan, who needs our collective help.

On Sept. 9, Megan was admitted to the hospital after arm pain led to the discovery of a blood clot deep in her shoulder from what was later identified as a rare anatomical condition. What followed was a frightening and unexpected 16-day hospital stay. During that time, she underwent five blood transfusions and five surgeries, including three thrombectomies and the removal of her first rib on her left side. She also experienced various complications.

Megan was finally discharged from the hospital on Sept. 25, but her long road to recovery has only just begun.

As a result of her surgeries, Megan has lost considerable function in her left arm for the time being, which significantly impacts her day-to-day life and her ability to work as a documentary filmmaker (and everything that goes along with that). For those who know Megan, you already know what an incredibly hard worker she is, and this whole ordeal has been emotionally trying as well as physically difficult. We’re raising these funds so that Megan can give her body the time it needs to fully heal without the added worry of making ends meet.

All of the funds raised from this GoFundMe will go toward Megan’s medical expenses (past, present, and future), her living expenses, and any other bumps in the road that might turn up along her path to recovery.

No donation is too small, and if you aren’t able to contribute financially, there are other ways to help, like sharing this fundraiser with your friends and networks.

Thank you for helping <3

-Julia, Madison and Lauren
