Rachel Sundberg is organizing this fundraiser for Wakara Scott and her baby boy, Tey-Wo-Lew. Wakara has been in the hospital at Providence St. Joseph Hospital for more than a week for a serious medical issue. There are still many unknowns right now. Wakara’s loved ones do not yet know how long she will be in the hospital, what additional care she may need, or how long her recovery may take. What is clear is that Wakara is in need of support from her community so that she can feel cared for, loved, and supported during this medical emergency.

While Wakara is unable to work, the everyday needs of life continue. This fundraiser will help with ongoing expenses like rent, groceries, childcare, and other basic living costs for Wakara and Tey-Wo-Lew, so Wakara can focus on healing without the added stress of worrying about bills and her son’s care. It will also help with transportation, lodging, and meals for family and friends traveling out of the area to care for Wakara and bring Tey-Wo-Lew to see his mother. Because these needs may continue week after week, recurring donations can provide steady support for housing, food, childcare, and travel throughout Wakara’s recovery. One-time donations are also deeply appreciated and will help right away.

Rachel is reaching out to the community to help surround Wakara and Tey-Wo-Lew with love and support during this difficult time. Any amount will make a difference. If donating is not possible, please share this fundraiser with others. You can also contact Rachel if you are able to provide any other forms of support or care during this time. Prayers and lighting root for a healthy recovery. Thank you for helping make sure Wakara knows that she and Tey-Wo-Lew are surrounded with love and care.
