If you know Bianca Stumbo (formerly Grauss) aka Yonky, B, Yonka, Blake Lively lookalike, Victoria Secret model ??? you know her strength, kindness, and pure joy for life. A girl who always shows up for the people she loves ready to give them her all and then some. A true stunning beauty inside and out. What many people don’t know, or don’t know the extend of, is that over the past several years, B has been fighting an insanely difficult battle with Lyme disease, Babesia and Bartonella. All serious tick-borne illnesses that have severely affected nearly every aspect of her life.

What most people haven’t see are the many doctor’s appointments, treatments, medications, travel, and never ending challenges that have come with chronic Lyme disease for Bianca. Despite her determination to keep pushing forward and fight to get her life back, the physical, emotional, and financial toll has been overwhelming.

During her fight to heal, Bianca has had to pursue specialized treatments, many of which are not offered in the US. This has lead to extensive travel, including trips to Mexico, which is where she currently is for the next few weeks. Many of these treatments are very expensive and not covered by insurance. The costs have quickly added up, creating a huge financial burden for Bianca and her family while they try to focus on her health and recovery.

We are starting this GoFundMe to try and help ease that burden a bit and allow Bianca to continue accessing the care and treatments that give her hope. Every donation, no matter the size, will go toward medical expenses, treatment costs, travel, and other necessities related to her ongoing care.

If you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Bianca in your thoughts and prayers would mean the world.

Thank you for supporting B during this horrible illness that has truly taken her life away. She is deeply hurting and needs all the love and support she can get. Your generosity, encouragement, and kindness remind her that she is not fighting this battle alone.

xoxo — the friends and fam of Bianca
