On April 30, our friend Melissa went through something no one expects. She had to have an Emergency Brain Surgery.

The surgery was successful, but it’s only the beginning of a long road to recovery. Melissa is currently in the ICU at St. Francis Hospital and the doctors expect weeks or even months of healing, follow up care, and therapy.

As you can imagine, the financial strain is overwhelming. Between the cost of emergency surgery, hospital stays, medications, and ongoing treatment, the bills are quickly adding up. On top of that, Melissa is unable to work and care for her daughter, which makes things even harder.

If you know Melissa, you know how kind, generous and hard working she is. She has been there for others, and now she needs our help and prayers.
