Taylor Bartlett expenses

Hello, This is Donna and Crystal. We are creating a fundraiser for Taylor Bartlett. As many of you know, Taylor suffered a stroke at the end of April 2022. The stroke happened due to a dissection of her carotid artery on her left side. She then spent almost 3 weeks in Rehabilitation to regain what she had lost. It wasn't until the end of July that she was able to return back to work at 12 hours per week. She recently has been able to work 20 hours per week; however, most weeks she has been unable to complete those hours because she doesn't feel well enough. She is having a difficult time managing her current expenses at 20 hours a week. Some of her co-workers have donated time to her, but that hasn't been alloted to her quite yet. She did receive some FMLA this will need to be paid back in order to receive the donated hours. The FMLA isn't her normal wages thus far she has continued to fall behind on her current expenses. The loss of income has been an extreme amount and continues to add up. Also, she now has unexpected doctor bills, co-pays, and prescriptions. Thankfully, she did have a savings when this happened, but she had to use all of that so she didn't lose her home to pay her monthly expenses. It is undetermined at this time when she will be able to work full-time again. She has been working very hard toward this goal. Taylor is an extremely independent person and doesn't want to lean on anyone for help especially when it comes to money; however, she has no choice and is completely overwhelmed and stressed. Fortunately, she was able to regain her amazing singing voice as she loves to go out and sing even though she can no longer drink. If you see her out please stop say hi and encourage her on this journey. Plus you can listen to that amazing voice of hers. Trust me when I say she doesn't need the added stress on a daily basis. We are reaching out to the community to ask for help with the money assistance on her behalf. We are doing this because we love her and she needs this help, but would never reach out on her own. Please feel free to contact Donna or I if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Donna and Crystal
