Ashish is a young mechanical engineer who suffered a sudden brain bleed. One Monday morning in March, he drove home from visiting his fiancée Van in Maryland. He wasn't feeling well and laid down to rest. That afternoon, Van happened to video-call him and realized he couldn't speak. She called EMS to his apartment from hundreds of miles away. At the hospital, a CT scan confirmed a brain bleed in the left hemisphere. Ashish couldn't form words but managed to text a friend one word: "stroke." He was transferred to another hospital and is now in the ICU. The cause is still unknown. He has slowly started speaking again, but the road ahead is long. Van and Ashish's mother have been at his side every day. They are facing mounting medical bills, lost income, and a recovery with no timeline. Any amount helps, and sharing this page goes a long way.
