Hello my name is Lori, and I am raising money for my daughter Holly.
In August 2024, while washing her hands, her bathroom mirror cabinet fell on top of her head. She didn't realize it afterwards until it was too late. She had developed a concussion and two hernias. This concussion wasn't her first. While she was supposed to be resting as the doctors told her to, her sons became injured physically, and multiple sicknesses struck the home. She continued to ignore the concussion taking care of her family's needs. Until it was too late.
Pretty soon, memory loss was increasing, and her cognitive abilities were decreasing. She was making improvements, and then she hit her head again. She slipped on her staircase trying to get to her toddler in time, smashing her head on the doorway of her staircase. Her third concussion.
That's where we need help.
Holly is nowhere close to healing, her memory loss greatly increased, she can no longer school her kids as she loved to do. She can't plan meals, drive, see, her speaking has declined as well.
Four times a week she goes to concussion therapy, acupuncture, and the chiropractor. It is really hard for her family to see her like this, and it's taken a toll on us as her parents, because we are taking care of her, her household, and making sure her boys' needs can be met- while her spouse is working, because she struggles cognitively.
We did research and found a hyperbaric oxygen chamber can help improve her brain function.
Unfortunately, insurance will not cover it. We all feel this is what Holly needs at this very time so she can go back to her normal. She will be gone four times a week an hour away from home.
This fundraiser is to cover expenses for the brain therapy she will get, the gas, and her husband's work time, as he will be taking unpaid work days off to take her to her appointments.
Please send prayers, guidance, information, meals, anything to help this beloved family out.
Thank you!

UPDATE: Her cerebellum is completely shot from her accidents. Her left brain can no longer work like should and cannot communicate with her right side. The doctor believes and hopes those four days of therapy will help heal her brain completely.
She starts therapy first weekend of December.

( When brain is too over stimulated with a head injury - can cause a freeze)
