Patrice's Get Well Fund: Part 2!
Donation protected
Friends and family, you all remember my best friend Patrice Ingram.
Last year, she underwent a medical crisis that nearly took her life.
Actually it did take her life. Multiple times. But she was revived, and today she is still healing. The baby boy she lost during this crisis watches over her from Heaven.
By the time Patrice was well enough to go home, life had drastically changed. She needed speech therapy to be able to speak again. She'd had a valve placed in her heart to stop the blood clots from reaching her brain again. She had already had 30 mini strokes.
Patrices body did not respond well to all of the trauma it went through and she lost her colon. She now has an ileostomy bag, which has caused many complications on its own. Her days are filled with doctors appointments.
And while Patrice is attending phsysical therapy, she has very low energy and even has difficulties lifting 3 lb. weights. She cannot drive. She wears out very easily. The process to apply for and gain approval for disability benefits is a long, extensive one that has many delays. Without any source of income, Patrice has had to rely on family for support.
We ask that you help us to help her with her financial situation. We have all been in a tight spot before, but few of us have been there so long with no end in sight. She needs to focus on healing and regaining her strength so that she can resume as normal a life as she can, not on how she is going to afford to buy daily necessities. Any donation will help, she is in great need of assistance from any and everyone who can chip in!
Thank you!
