Love and support for Erin
Donation protected
For those of you who know my sister Erin personally, you know how strong she is; both physically and mentally.
I still can't believe I am writing this because it is still hard to believe that it happened....
On the night of Tuesday, March 17th, Erin suffered a stroke while at home with her family....
She was rushed by ambulance to the closest hospital, where she spent 4 days being closely cared for by the amazing doctors and nurses while undergoing a series of tests and medications to reduce her physical and neurological symptoms.
Although Erin does have some minor underlying medical conditions, the most likely cause of her stroke was extreme high blood pressure, induced by severe stress.
She is now home on bedrest, and adjusting to her new medications, diet, and sleeping alot.
For the time being, she is unable to work and run her custom cake shop.
We are hopeful she will make a full recovery, however she needs to be seen by a number of specialists and remain on bedrest until she is at 100% which could take months. Her brain and body are not working at full capacity, which is making it extremely difficult for her to stand up for any length of time, as well as read, talk, use her phone, among alot of other simple tasks.
I know this is a very difficult time for ALOT of people, and I also know that Erin would do anything to help any of her family, friends, as well as customers.
If you would like to help Erin, below are a couple ways that you can... she could use all the love and support she can get right now, until she fully recovers and is able to physically work again!
- Send Erin some positive words or photos! (Comment here, or post on her facebook page!)
Family and friends, if you would like to help her financially there are 2 ways you can do so:
You can Venmo her direct: @cakesbyerin,
or you can donate to this fundraiser...
I realize that a lot of people are out of work right now, and please do NOT feel obligated to donate. I have been asked by several people for ways they can help, and this is a simple and direct way to help put Erin's mind at ease while she rests and recovers.
Erin could use the funds to pay for:
-the rent of her cake shop (plus all utilities) so that she is not evicted, or let out of her lease (which was insinuated could happen by her landlord when I spoke with him, even during these difficult times)
-her bills at home for her and her 3 children.
-her new medications and incoming stack of medical bills
I will keep everyone updated on Erin's health status and neurological condition. We are praying for a full and speedy recovery!
Thank you for taking the time to read this....
