Stand by Jared's Mom in Her Health Battle

Hi, my name is Jared Stainbrook, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart on behalf of my mom and our family.

My mom has been through more in the past year than most could imagine. She’s been battling complications from diabetes for years, and in recent months, her health has taken a dramatic turn. Earlier this year, she underwent open-heart surgery to repair a failing valve. Shortly after, she received a pacemaker to regulate her heartbeat.

This came after a life-saving kidney transplant, which we hoped would be the start of her recovery. But instead, She is the hospital fighting an infection in her brain with encephalopathy, leaving her weak and disoriented. She often falls, sometimes not knowing where she is or what’s happening around her.

Through it all, my dad has been her rock and full-time caregiver. He’s taken an enormous amount of time off work to care for her around the clock. But now, as medical bills mount and with a necessary move on the horizon to a more accessible and safer living space, our family is facing financial stress that we simply can’t manage alone.

We are humbly asking for help to cover:

• Ongoing medical expenses and medications

• Home care supplies and accessibility needs

• Living expenses due to lost income

• Costs associated with moving to a safer, more suitable home

My mom has always been a strong, loving, and generous person—always the one helping others. Now she’s the one in need. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the burden on my parents and allow them to focus on what matters most: her healing.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting us in this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,
