Support Rachelle's Medical and Dental Recovery

Help Rachelle overcome her VP Shunt issues and dental emergency!

Rachelle has a VP shunt implanted in her brain to drain the large amount of cerebrospinal fluid her body over-produces. Four weeks ago, the shunt started to have issues and was not draining enough spinal fluid. This caused extreme high-pressure headaches, visual changes, nausea, and cognitive symptoms. After multiple costly diagnostic tests and scans, and a visit to the ER, her shunt was adjusted by her neurosurgeon. Fortunately, it was a non-surgical intervention this time. She will require costly follow-up imaging and care.

Within the same week, Rachelle had a severe tooth infection which needed extraction and a bone graft, and will need an implant to resolve.

These sudden medical and dental expenses are more costly than expected, and proving to be difficult to manage without help. Please consider supporting your friend during this time.
