Support Necia Gamby's Journey to Recovery

Donation protected
Dear Kansas City,

On July 25th, my mother and beloved community pillar, Necia Gamby, suffered a massive ischemic stroke that changed her life forever.

When my mother didn’t show up for an appointment, a concerned client rallied a wellness check, leading to her discovery on the floor of her home. She was unfortunately there for quite some time. Rushed to KU ICU, just 5 blocks away, Necia was stabilized, but the road to recovery is long and uncertain.

The stroke has left Necia with paralysis on the entire left side of her body, requiring ongoing care and rehabilitation.

Despite her progress, MO Medicare complications are hindering care and recovery options, causing bills to pile up. It's a devastating blow to someone who has dedicated her life to healing others.

Necia Gamby has been called "the Oracle of 39th Street" by Kansas City musician Calvin Arsenia. Necia currently serves on the Board of Directors of Kansas City Folk Festival. She has served on the board of directors of the Volker Neighborhood Association and was vice president of the board of the MidCoast Radio Project. For 40 years, my mother has selflessly shared her gift of healing as a massage practitioner, teacher, and mentor. Her impact on our community is immeasurable, touching countless lives with compassion and kindness. Now, it's our turn to support her in her time of need.

Your donation to our GoFundMe campaign will help alleviate the financial burdens and ensure Necia receives the care she deserves. Every contribution brings her closer to regaining her strength, her independence, and her ability to continue spreading love and light in our community.


Updates on my mother condition and any requests from the me and the family will be posted here when possible.

Let's rally around Necia and shower her with the same love, care, and support she's always given us. Thank you for your generosity and kindness during this critical time.
