Hi friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers—

I’m reaching out today with a heavy heart to ask for help for someone very dear to me, Brenda Jones, who recently suffered a serious stroke. This unexpected medical emergency has turned their world upside down.

To make matters even more difficult, Brenda does not have health insurance, which means every hospital visit, test, medication, and day of therapy is adding up fast—with no safety net to catch them.

Brenda was rushed to the hospital on July 30, 2025 after showing signs of a stroke. Since then, they’ve been undergoing treatment and are facing a long road to recovery, including physical therapy, neurological follow-ups, and potentially months of healing and rehab. It’s still unclear how fully or how quickly they will recover, but we are praying fervently for her and her sweet family. Brenda is one of the kindest, strongest people I know. They’ve always been there for others, and now it’s our turn to be there for them. If you’re able to give any amount, it will go directly toward easing the weight of these medical and living expenses.

If you’re unable to give right now, please consider sharing this campaign. A share can be just as powerful as a donation.

We are incredibly grateful for your support, encouragement, and prayers during this time.

Thank you for standing with Brenda and her family.

With gratitude,

Rebecca Gillen
