Laura needs our help
Donation protected





This is my very dear friend Laura. She is recovering from a surgery to remove a very large brain tumor.
Laura thought she had a sinus infection and went to see her doctor who sent her for a CT scan of her sinuses. During this scan her doctor noticed a large tumor embedded in the middle of Laura’s brain. She immediately sent her for more scans and made an appointment with a Neurosurgeon. A week later she underwent brain surgery to remove the tumor.
She was rushed by ambulance back to the hospital on Halloween night with a severe headache and had been throwing up for 10 hours. They discovered bleeding in her brain and that she had suffered a mini stroke.
She is waiting in her doctor to figure out what they are going to do.
In the meantime, she is out of work without pay because just 3 years ago it was discovered that Laura had a hole in her heart that needed to be repaired.
After this surgery she married the man of her dreams Ronnie Combs. And almost exactly 9 months later they welcomed their beautiful
daughter Chloe Lucetta to their family.
1 year later they found the house they had been searching for and bought it.
and now we are here. So much has changed in the last 3 years of Laura’s life. Her husband is unable to go to work while trying to take care of Laura’s needs and take care of Chloe And their 2 fur babies. Laura exhausted all of her leave at work for all of the things that had happened before the diagnosis of the brain tumor. The City of Newport News does not allow other employees to donate time to other employees so Laura is left to
being off without pay.
It is a lot to try to deal with without medical issues but to deal with it while being sick is overwhelming.
I beg you to find it in your heart to please help my friend Laura and her family. Please donate whatever you can and please share this with everyone on your friends list.
Laura and Ronnie are not ones to ask for help but they truly need it at this moment as they are both out of work but their bills have not stopped coming.
