My dear friend Christy Duley is currently in the ICU at Mercy in Springfield after suffering a massive stroke. She underwent emergency surgery to remove part of her skull to relieve the blood and pressure from a brain bleed. Right now, Christy is able to move her right side better than her left, but she faces a long road ahead with extensive therapy and support needed for her recovery.

Her husband Chad and their family are staying in Springfield for as long as it takes to be by her side. This journey is going to be challenging, both emotionally and financially. As friends and a caring community, we want to rally around Christy and her family to help ease some of the burdens they are facing. The funds raised will go directly toward Christy's medical expenses, therapy, and supporting her family during this difficult time.

I'm reaching out to everyone who knows and loves Christy, as well as anyone moved by her story, to ask for your help. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your prayers and support mean the world to us. If you have any questions or want updates, please reach out to me. We appreciate all of you and thank you so much in advance for your kindness and generosity.
