Hello everyone. My name is Amanda Persaud. I was the recipient of a Go Fund Me account several years ago, that one of my best friends created for me and my family, after a tragic accident. During that time, I was humbled in so many ways, that I obtained a new outlook on people, their intentions, and their inherent GOODNESS, despite all of the evils in the world. In my profile, you may see my old Go Fund Me account, read the details and updates, and understand why I am creating this account for my sister-in-law, who has always put others first, has always gone above and beyond, and has been there when needed the most. Just to put things into perspective, this beautiful woman decided to practice using a catheter on herself, after my daughter became a paraplegic several years ago (during our tragic accident). She did this for multiple reasons, 1) to show our daughter that she didnt need to be afraid, and that it CAN be done, and 2) to learn and then teach her the best way to do it herself. She stayed at the hospital with my daughter when I couldn't be there. She even allowed my daughter to live with her and her family, while I was still at the hospital with my husband. She did not work during the many weeks we were in the hospital and at rehab, and was always there for us (even the many nights when I became a "Chatty Cathy" while on my pain medication, and would NOT stop talking!) She is totally selfless, and if I could ever repay her in any way, creating this GoFundMe page would be it, as we hope and pray for her speedy recovery. She recently went in for a biopsy of a nodule on her lung, and during the procedure, a vein in her lung got knicked, and started bleeding, which ultimately caused her lung to collapse. She has Stage 4 COPD and emphysema, so it's taking her lungs longer to heal than normal. Since last Thursday, the bleeding has stopped, but they want to make sure she's calm to not dislodge the clot that was formed, so she has been heavily sedated since, to keep her calm and to promote healing. Our biggest concern and need for prayers at this time, is for her pneumothorax to heal enough to where they can take her off of the ventilator (the sooner the better). Her out of state children have flown in to be with her, even though she is not aware yet. I am hoping that donations to this fundraiser will help my brother, and his children be able to eat, travel to and from the hospital pay their monthly bills, and stay focused on Casey during this very scary time. It is estimated that this will be a long recovery, and continued support may be necessary, so that the monetary needs of my brother and his family will be met so that they can continue to focus on my sister, and her needs. I know, too well, what it's like to bein constant fear of losing someone so close. If you know me or my story, when we lost our 2 daughters in our tragic accident, and when I was just waiting, at the mercy of the doctors, to tell me if our oldest daughter, or my husband was going to survive, it was torturous, and The GoFundMe account that my best friend set up for me and my family was something that allowed me to not worry about the unimportant things. I was able to focus on my daughter and husband, and I thank God for everyone's support, prayers, and donations, to this day. 
 
Like the title suggests, I want to pay it forward by asking you all to please give any amount to help my brother and his family, during this very stressful time. we still do not know a prognosis yet, and although it's hard not to fear the worst, I pray that God will place his healing hands on my sister, Casey, and I pray that he will bless the doctors and nurses who are caring for her, to ensure that they are diligent, precise, and successful in any upcoming procedures. And I pray for you all, to please add Casey Thomas's name to your prayer lists and/or groups, and if you can, please share this page, and donate ANY amount that you can spare. THANK YOU and may God bless you and your loved ones as well!
 
*I will post any updates as I recieve them!
