<div>At 1:15 PM on March 26, my brother George (Ujo) texted his friend that his job interview went great. By 1:22 PM, he was unresponsive. By 2:00 PM, paramedics were telling me he might not survive the drive to the hospital. Code Blue.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Gerald. I'm George's younger brother. This is what happened.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George (Ujo), 27 years old, had just wrapped a job interview he was excited about. He FaceTimed a friend to celebrate. Mid-call, he grabbed the left side of his head, experiencing thunderclap headaches, looked at his friend, and said: "Is this an aneurysm?"<em> </em>He tried to google his symptoms on the call.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_1774864384234450_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then he went pale, started sweating, and stopped responding. His friend called someone nearby to rush to George's apartment. That friend arrived within five minutes and found George barely conscious — eyes rolled back, drenched in cold sweat. He called 911. Then he called me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I got there three minutes after the paramedics. I watched four of them carry my brother to the ambulance. He couldn't walk. He couldn't talk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_177486451777000_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A paramedic called me on the way to the hospital and said something I will never forget:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"This is very serious. Head to the ER now. He doesn't look like he's going to make it."</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The ER</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the ER, I was asked to give consent to operate on my brother's brain. Consent to put him under anesthesia. Consent to open his skull. Consent to do whatever it takes to keep him alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_1774864567514557_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>They called my dad. They told him the same thing — George most likely wouldn't make it, and he should get to the hospital before it's too late.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dad called me back. I have never heard my dad cry. Not once in my entire life. He asked if I could fly our mom from Las Vegas to Los Angeles so she could spend George's final moments with him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Six Hours in the Waiting Room</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George went into emergency surgery at 4:30 PM. It lasted over six hours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For six hours, our family stared at a waiting room screen showing patient names and their status. I watched George's name sit under "OR / Procedure" while other patients moved to post-op recovery, one after another.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_177486465689895_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By the sixth hour, his name vanished from the screen. It didn't move to recovery. It just disappeared.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We didn't know if he was alive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Five minutes later, a supervisor told us George was out of surgery and had been moved to the Neuro-ICU.
</div>
<div>That was the first time I exhaled in six hours.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Happened to George</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_1774864807373593_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George suffered a ruptured brain AVM — an arteriovenous malformation. It's an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain that he was born with. It had been there, silently, for 27 years without anyone’s knowledge. No symptoms. No warning signs. On March 26, it ruptured without any reason causing a hemorrhagic stroke, flooding the left side of his brain with blood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The left side of the brain controls language, memory, and motor function.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>During the emergency surgery, surgeons removed a section of George's skull to give his swelling brain room to survive. They evacuated as much of the hemorrhage as possible and placed a drain to relieve the dangerous pressure. The surgery lasted over 6 hours and saved his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But the AVM itself — the root cause — was intentionally left untreated. Removing it during the emergency would have risked further brain damage. That requires its own surgery, and George's brain has to heal first.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where George Is Now</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_1774865055839546_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/101824681_1774865017373343_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George is now in stable condition. Follow-up scans show significant improvement and his doctors are cautiously optimistic.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But he is facing:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2 more surgeries</strong> — to remove the AVM entirely and reconstruct his skull with a custom prosthetic plate
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Intensive rehabilitation </strong>— speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy — to regain motor function, verbal ability, and memory that the hemorrhage took from him
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>24/7 attentive care </strong>— his doctors have warned that another stroke is likely, requiring constant monitoring
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>At least 6 months before he can work again</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George was on involuntary unpaid leave from his job when this happened. That's why he was interviewing. He has zero income.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George didn't cause this. He was born with it. He lived 27 healthy years — no medications, no medical history — until it ruptured on what was supposed to be a good day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How Donations Will Be Used:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hospital and ICU costs
</div>
<div>2 upcoming surgeries
</div>
<div>Intensive rehabilitation
</div>
<div>Speech, physical, and occupational therapy
</div>
<div>6 months of living expenses
</div>
<div>24/7 attentive care
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Other ways to support George:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Share this page with your network
</div>
<div>Meal delivery or gift cards for the family
</div>
<div>Messages of encouragement — we read every single one to him
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can't donate, please share this page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every share puts George's story in front of someone who might be able to help. That matters more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>George's doctors say that at 27, healthy and strong, he has one of the best possible recovery profiles. Young brains can heal and rewire in extraordinary ways. There is real hope.
</div>
<div>But 6 months of surgeries, therapy, and bills with zero income is more than our family can carry alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My parents and I will be managing these funds to pay for his medical bills, rehabilitation, and living expenses. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading about my brother.

Help George (Ujo) Recover from a Sudden Brain Hemorrhage

<div>The beds have been donated. Now we need to deliver!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2021, True North Aid, through the <a href="https://truenorthaid.ca/project/deliver-sleep/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Good Night's Sleep</a> Program, has provided over 800 bed sets to over 40 communities in northern and remote areas of Canada, in partnership with Silk &amp; Snow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fall, Silk &amp; Snow has provided 206 brand-new bed sets (over $250,000 worth!) to support 8 remote Indigenous communities in Canada. The only barrier left is delivery–many communities are fly-in, and getting a single bed to a home costs about $145.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your impact:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$145 delivers 1 bed
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$290 delivers 2 beds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$725 delivers 5 beds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$1,450 delivers 10 beds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But - any amount helps!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every gift moves a bed from the warehouse to a bedroom–turning a bare floor or worn-out mattress into safe, restorative sleep.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How funds will be used:
</div>
<div>Donations cover delivery costs (e.g., freight/air transport, handling, and last-mile logistics) to bring bed sets to remote Indigenous communities in Canada.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re able, please donate today and share this page with friends and family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can deliver A Good Night’s Sleep–one bed at a time.

2025 Wildfire Relief Fund

<div>Hi everyone, my name is Neil. I’m writing on behalf of my girlfriend, Ariyana Griffin, who has been through a tough few weeks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She recently got accepted into her dream doctorate program at USC, and was really excited to continue her education at USC. It felt like everything she’d worked for was finally coming together, until her dad passed away unexpectedly. Then, just two weeks later, her family home burned down in the Eaton Fire. Everything she and her mom owned was destroyed. In the span of those few weeks, Ariyana lost her dad, her home, and all of her belongings.
</div><img class="text-editor_textEditorImage__43_GE" alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/85512357_1736396666473218_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her mom worked so hard so that Ariyana could commute to USC and fulfill her dream of earning a doctorate. Now, that dream feels so far out of reach. Even if she can secure enough financial aid, she no longer has a home to commute from. Neither of us ever imagined that she’d be in the position of asking for help like this, but she’s lost everything, her place to call home, basic necessities, and cherished memories she regrets not packing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m humbly asking for your support for Ariyana and her mom. Your kindness will help them feel a bit more secure while they figure out their next steps. It will allow Ariyana to replace basic necessities such as clothing, toiletries, and other everyday items she once took for granted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She never thought she’d be asking for help like this, not when she was worried about paying for school or grieving her dad. But now she has no place to call home and no belongings to her name. She wants to be there for her mom after losing her dad, but not knowing where they will live temporarily or in the long term scares them. She can’t do this alone, not without the help of friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals who want to make a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity will help them recover a fraction of what they lost until they can get back on their feet, replace necessities, and hopefully secure a new apartment. Furnishing even a simple apartment with the bare essentials will take time and money, and it won’t be easy for just the two of them to manage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every single donation, no matter how small, will help her and her mom get through these tragedies. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing her story. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read this and for any support you can provide.
</div>

Help Ariyana Rebuild After Dad’s Passing & Eaton Fire

katie 💭

<div>Hi! I’m Eujue. My brother, sister and I are trying to save my grandparent’s hanok (traditional Korean home) in Seoul. If you came here from my video, thank you for even considering supporting us as we try and keep our only ancestral home within our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Next month, my grandparents are moving into a full time care facility. Their hope was to spend the rest of their lives in the hanok, but my grandpa never fully regained his ability to walk after a bad fall.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some history on the house: it’s one of the last standing hanoks in the neighborhood and three generations of my family lived in the house. My great grandma gave birth to my grandma and raised her in the house. My siblings and I were also raised in this house.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For those in Seoul, we’ll be doing a yard sale / tour of the house on Monday, September 29th from 1 to 3PM. Here’s a link to the <a href="https://forms.gle/jpfmjPaTkUmJnozW9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interest form</a> ! ❤️
