Support Shaina's Medical Expenses & Recovery

Hi! I'm reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, bandmate, and our favorite Drum Rat, Shaina, who recently faced a serious medical emergency. Following a cardiac syncope incident, she experienced difficulty breathing and extreme chest and abdominal pain, which resulted in her being hospitalized for two weeks. Initially suspected to be a heart attack or cardiac aneurysm, that was thankfully not the case! However, she was diagnosed with bradycardia, hypotension, cardiac syncope, and costochondritis (an excruciating musculoskeletal issue stemming from complications with Systemic Lupus).

Shane's conditions cause significant pain, particularly while standing for extended periods, making it currently tricky for her to film on set due to the long hours required. Unfortunately, this has also impacted her ability to perform, resulting in the cancellation of roughly two months' worth of gigs. I am happy to report that her recovery and pain management are going great thus far! It will involve several months of physical therapy, pain management, and numerous appointments with specialists.

This GoFundMe campaign aims to alleviate the financial burden of current medical bills, upcoming copays, upcoming medical expenses, missed work, and additional expenses like pet care during her hospitalization, in-home services, transportation, etc.

Your support will ensure that Shane can take the necessary time she needs to properly rest and recover fully before returning to working full-time, being as wild as we all know she loves to be while drumming for us on stage as well as getting her butt back to tearing up the lanes with her bowling squad!

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in Shaina's journey to recovery! Your generosity and kindness are deeply appreciated!

With All of Our Love,
