Standing with Brooke Through Her Health Crisis

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

Brooke’s sister and I decided to create this GoFundMe , Brooke, who has been facing an unexpected and overwhelming medical crisis that has completely turned her life upside down.

Since December 20, 2025, Brooke has been hospitalized three times after becoming very ill. She was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a serious and life-altering autoimmune condition. Most recently, she has been hospitalized continuously since January 15, 2026, where she is now battling not only ulcerative colitis but also necrotizing pneumonia, a severe and frightening complication.

During this already heartbreaking time, Brooke’s beloved dog Sophie also became suddenly ill and required emergency veterinary care. Thankfully, Sophie is recovering well after receiving subcutaneous fluids and medication—but the timing added even more emotional and financial strain.

Because of her illness, Brooke has been unable to work and is still unsure when she’ll be well enough to return. This sudden pause on her life has made it difficult to cover rent, utilities, medical bills, and basic living expenses, all while she focuses on healing.

Brooke just turned 33 this month. Anyone who knows her knows she has an incredibly beautiful heart. She is deeply passionate about fitness and nutrition and has dedicated her life to helping others feel good about themselves and live healthy, empowered lives. To see her sidelined by illness has been devastating—but she continues to show strength and grace even in the hardest moments.

We are asking for help to support Brooke during this critical time so she can focus on recovery without the constant fear of falling behind financially. Any donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward:
    •    Rent and utilities
    •    Medical and hospital bills
    •    Essential living expenses while she is unable to work

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser means more than you know.

Thank you for taking the time to read Brooke’s story, for your kindness, and for helping her get through this incredibly difficult chapter.
