Stand By Bubbles: A Family in Need

Grenicia “Bubbles” Cole

On June 5th of 2025, Bubbles suffered a hemorrhagic stroke, while at work. This caused her to have a brain bleed which created a severe buildup of spinal fluid. Due to the damage that was caused, she was placed under a medically induced coma for a little over a week. We were informed this was caused by extremely elevated blood pressure levels. We then learned from the doctors that a part of her skull must be removed to relieve the pressure off of her brain to help with the cerebrum function, with the following steps being placed on a ventilator, spinal drain and feeding tube. Thankfully, the ventilator was recently removed, but she still had to endure a tracheostomy surgical procedure and shunt placement. She wakes up from time to time, but is still unable to speak or fully control any movement. Bubbles is a mother of five, with her youngest being thirteen. She also has five grand children, whom she adores and helps care for as well. She is well known to provide a meal, a home and family dynamic for so many within our city! She has passionately served endless families within the health care industry for over 25 years! It has been a struggle for her children to help maintain her bills in her home and their own as well! I am reaching out asking for help with donations for her and her family. Unfortunately, she was not insured and we are currently working on that. As a family, we are trying to ensure that when she overcomes these unfortunate events, she still has a home of her own to come home to. We will do our utmost best to make life as normal as it can be for her when she comes to. Please help her with a donation if possible. We thank you and appreciate you! And remember, “When you smile, the world will smile back!”
