Support Katie After a Traumatic Brain Injury
Donation protected
On September 13th, I discovered my wife collapsed on the kitchen floor after she had lost consciousness, resulting in a traumatic brain injury. The local trauma center advised us to make arrangements for her, as we didn't think she was going to make it. She experienced loss of oxygen, swelling, and bleeding in her brain, resulting in permanent brain damage. This injury has caused her to lose movement on her right side, short-term memory loss, seizures, PTSD, sleep apnea, loss of speech, and struggles to hold conversations. Following the injury, she requires the assistance of a walker and frequently falls. She is unable to work or drive and needs full-time care.
Catherine's short-term disability payments ended in November 2024, and after depleting our savings, we have had to rely on family support to help with our bills. We have spent the last few months searching for additional resources. Catherine has applied for disability benefits, and I, as her full-time caretaker, have applied for IHSS, which can take months to receive financial support. We are currently facing eviction due to unpaid rent. If you cannot help with financial assistance, we kindly ask for your prayers, as they have been instrumental in helping us cope thus far.
Please consider sharing this fundraiser to spread the word. Thank you for your prayers and support!
