Support Brianna's Recovery from Life-Threatening Infections

Help Brianna Heal From Life-Threatening MRSA, Facial Surgery & Loss of Eye Muscle

Hi, my name is Brianna, and I’m reaching out in the most vulnerable chapter of my life. I’ve been hospitalized four times while battling severe, flesh-eating infections, including MRSA orbital cellulitis—a dangerous infection that spread aggressively.

This infection didn't just threaten my sight — it began eating away at part of my eye muscle, forcing me to undergo an emergency orbitotomy to drain a periorbital abscess and save my life.

My Current Medical Journey:
  • Left periorbital abscess
  • MRSA-positive screen
  • Emergency orbitotomy with abscess surgery
  • CT scans confirming inflammation and necrotic tissue in the left orbit
  • Facing future cicatricial ectropion surgery due to significant scarring and loss of orbicularis muscle
  • Diagnosed with flesh-eating bacteria (necrosis) affecting my face and eye
  • Struggling with deep pain, swelling, and loss of muscle functionality in my face

This journey has been terrifying, painful, and isolating. I never imagined I’d be navigating multiple hospital stays, life-altering facial infections, and now facing reconstructive surgery to rebuild what has been lost.

As a holistic health coach and wellness advocate, I’ve always dedicated myself to helping others feel their best — body, mind, and soul. Now, I’m the one in need of care, healing, and support.

I’m asking for your help to cover:
  • Medical bills from 4 hospitalizations and multiple surgeries
  • IV antibiotics, medications, and post-op care
  • Upcoming reconstructive surgery to repair the damage and restore my appearance
  • Basic living costs during recovery
  • Loss of income due to being unable to work during this long, uncertain recovery process
Every donation, prayer, and share means the world to me. Your support helps me continue this fight — not just for my health, but to one day smile again, free from pain, and return to the work I love so deeply.

Thank you for being a part of my healing,
God bless everyone of you!
Brianna
