Young Family Emergency Relief Fund

Donation protected
Anyone who knows Megan Young (Steel), knows what an amazing person she is. As a trainer, she not only shows her clients how to properly execute an exercise, she also puts a huge emphasis on self-love and self-care beyond appearance. As a friend, she is always the first to show up and support one in exactly the way needed. As a stranger, she will advocate for those who do not have a voice or need to be heard. She has impacted so many of our lives and is constantly showing us how to learn and grow. She is always lending a helping hand and a kind heart.

Anyone who knows Megan’s family knows how welcoming, warm and compassionate they are to everyone they meet. Penny, Megan’s mother, JR, Megan’s husband, and their son, Jayden have impacted our lives and community in so many ways.

With that being said, she needs help. After a week of experiencing odd symptoms, including blurry vision, pain, headaches, and just not feeling like herself, she went to the ER. After being brushed off and sent home with a minimal prescription, she pursued a second opinion. It has been determined that Megan has a mass on her brain that is swelling and bleeding. She is being transported to another facility that can operate on the mass. She is scared. Her family is scared. Their whole world has been turned upside down in an evening and the future is unknown.

This gofundme has been set up so that her family can worry about supporting and loving each other through this travesty. Unfortunately, bills don’t stop. These funds will be used to help Megan and her family cover medical, travel, work missed, and everyday needs that arise for Megan, JR, Jayden, and Penny. Any and all donations to alleviate some financial burden during this difficult time is greatly appreciated.

Costs at this time are unknown as Megan has not been given a bill or any estimate regarding her care. We will continue to update this page with each known expense. Google shows that the average neurosurgery can cost upwards of $20,000.

In addition to medical costs, all of their regular bills including house payment, car payment, insurance, and utilities will also need attention.

Penny and JR will both be limiting their time at work in order to care for Jayden and tend to Megan’s recovery.
