Help Caroline With Medical Bills

Donation protected
On May 24th Caroline experienced loss of vision slurred speech and cognitive impairment. She was taken to the ER where she then found out she had suffered from 3 strokes due to a vertebral artery tear. She spent the weekend in the hospital under observation. 

On June 14th Caroline again was rushed to the ER where she suffered yet another stroke and was admitted into the hospital. She continues to have limited sight, headaches, cognitive impairment and fatigue. Doctors are convinced she will make a full recovery with the help of medication and occupational therapy but it will take a lot of hard work and time. 

At only age 38 this experience has been extremely difficult for Caroline as she is accustom to living a very active lifestyle.  As a result of her ongoing symptoms she has lost her independence and her ability to live her life as she previously had.  

Caroline is an athlete, the 1st Brazilian Jiu Jitsu female black belt in Louisiana, a teacher, a Girls in Gis ambassador and an increadable human being.  She is an amazing role model that has touched the lives of many and is always there for other in need. We want to return the favor and assist her in her time of need. 

Her road to recovery will not be an easy road nor an affordable one.  She is already facing mounting medical bills and there are more to come. We ask you to assist Caroline in her recovery by making a donation today.
