This is our sister Paula. She has spent the last year in and out of the hospital and has been unable to work.

Paula has been fighting end-stage renal failure for 6+ years. She also currently has been fighting many other health conditions as well, more than any one person should have to deal with all at once.

She hasn’t been able to get the surgeries she needs because it’s always one step forward and three steps back due to a new condition that happens.

Right now she has a huge battle to fight.

Paula has been in the hospital since July 21st, with the exception of a few days she came home but had to go right back in. They are saying she will be hospitalized for quite some time to come.

While Paula remains positive and never complains, this year has been a financial burden with all the medical expenses, cost of living, etc. I am hoping to help relieve some of Paula's stress financially so she can just focus on her health and getting better.

Paula is facing a lot right now, especially with the added pressure of many surgeries still needed and the bills adding up. I want to relieve her stress.

With the support of her family, friends, and generous donors, we can help ease some of the financial burdens she’s facing during this difficult time. Let’s come together to lift Paula up and ensure that her heart and mind are filled with the love and care she needs to stay strong and heal.

If you know Paula, she is one of the most generous, hardworking, dedicated people we know. We love her with all our hearts; she is our baby sister.

Thank you, Mike, Barb, Ed & Marla

P.S In the pictures above, two are her current stay in the hospital and she still gives us smiles while her pain levels are a solid 7 and as high as a 10 on most days.
