Gia's Medical Expenses

Donation protected
**Latest update 3/19:

Gia has improved dramatically this past week and a half. 
Here are the latest news of her condition:

* Moved from the ICU to the neuro -step down medical floor, anticipating that she will be sent to a rehab center in the coming weeks

* All of her drains & staples have been removed, CT scans have looked good. She is scheduled to go off her antibiotics on Wednesday, which is her last IV.  She has been walking with some assistance. She is sometimes restless and her short term memory is still very spotty.  

* Her appetite is back. :) Please see her cute picture below. 

Please keep Gia in your thoughts and prayers! We, again, thank you all for your support!









**Latest Update 3/3/17:

Due to the request of family members, we have increased our goal for her ongoing medical expenses. Currently, we are on a emotional rollercoaster as we deal with a still uncertain progress on Gia. She has had many good days, but some not so great. She has many miles ahead to her road to recovery. She is currently still in the critical stage of her condition, and is not in the clear as of yet. 

She had suffered a stroke and is battling a mitral valve prolapse in her heart as well. She is still ongoing frequent tests to her brain to make sure blood is flowing smoothly, before they work on her heart.  More procedures are sure to follow for her rehabilitation in the future.

Hello, my name is Chastine and I am a cousin of Gia. Gia is currently in ICU in NYC.  Our family is relying on the power of prayers for her to get her through this ordeal.
On behalf of our family, I would like to start this GoFundMe account for her impending medical expenses. This will help her expenses that are not covered through any insurances or state/federal programs. 
This is all still raw and emotional for all of us right now, so this may be updated as soon as we know her current status day by day. We humbly ask you to keep her in your prayers and your financial support if you can as well.
Gia is our light and our love, and had always given us much charm and laughter as her big heart permits. Her zest for life and her persistent enthusiam and energy brightens everyone's day.
We thank you so much in advance for your help. We are truly overwhelmed at the love and support that you gave to Gia and to our family. If you cannot give, please continue to pray for her.
