Support for Leslie’s sudden passing
Donation protected
Hey all my name is Noelle and I am starting this go fund me account on behalf of my friend Leslie Adkins, her mother Rita Adkins, and Leslie’s 3 boys Trey, Greyson, and Colin. Leslie tested positive for Covid-19 last Wednesday Dec. 15th. She had been quarantined and thought she was starting to feel a little better about 2 days in. On Sunday, Dec 19th, she took a sudden turn for the worst when she started experiencing severe shortness of breath. Leslie’s mom Rita, who she lived with with her 3 boys, and who had also tested positive for Covid and is currently still in quarantine, rushed Leslie to the hospital early Sunday. By late evening Sunday, Leslie had been transferred from one hospital to another, where she had 2 seizures, and after several different testing, found out that she not only had Covid, but also pneumonia, a heart infection, and fluid building up around her heart. Leslie was transferred to the ICU early Monday morning, and was put on heavy antibiotics and oxygen, but it did not help. Her breathing worsened, and she was put on a ventilator. Soon after, she was taken into surgery and the doctors were able to remove most of the fluid from around her heart, but it still didn’t help the severe damage that had already invaded her body, specifically her heart. She had been given all the medicine that she could be given, and her vitals were just too low for anything else to be done. At around 1:30am Dec 21 Tuesday morning, after such a short, but what probably seemed like a lifetime for her, Leslie’s body stopped fighting and finally rested. I cannot even fathom the pain that Leslie’s family is experiencing at this time. 4 days before Christmas her poor boys are left motherless, and her mom Rita, sick herself, caring for her boys and trying to hold it all together. No amount of money can take away the grief and burden, but I felt this action necessary to help support this family at this time. Leslie was a kind, helpful, witty, hilarious, strong beautiful soul. A wonderful mom, daughter, sister, and friend. I’m thankful to have gotten to know her. On behalf of her family, whatever can be contributed to the upcoming expenses of this awful tragedy would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
