  • Wednesday and still waiting

    She now has 2 IV's and more blood drawn, she ended up with a Pneumothorax after a bronchoscopy and was transferred to the ICU to be closely monitored on the most oxygen they can give her. She is waiting on so many results, the most important right now are the results of her 7 samples (biopsies) of her lungs and if her Pneumothorax is going to heal itself.


About this fundraiser

During an unexpected hospitalization after several months of illness, Paula and her family are facing a difficult time none of them planned for. While she is away from her daughter's and focuses on fighting for answers toward her recovery, her husband Bob has remained by her side every moment, so he can support and advocate for her through this incredibly hard journey.

Unfortunately, situations like this bring overwhelming financial strain. Medical expenses, travel costs, missed work, meals, and everyday bills continue to add up while their entire focus is on her health and healing.

I am asking for help from anyone who feels led to support them during this time. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward medical expenses and helping ease the financial burden so her husband can continue staying by her side where he belongs.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this message and keeping them in your thoughts and prayers means just as much. Thank you for surrounding this family with love, strength, and support during such an unexpected and challenging time.

Specific prayer request for answers after nearly a week and 2 hospital's working to find them, they still dont know what is causing her infection and still have no idea how much longer she will be hospitalized.
