Last month sudden, serious stomach pain forced Maisie to the hospital where she learned her gallbladder was severely infected and riddled with gallstones - her gallbladder needed to come out. Then the doctors discovered she also had COVID, which delayed her surgery for a full month. Maisie cannot work in her job as a child therapist for at least 2 months, and although she has been working hard all her life, she is a single mom without the saving account or means to support herself and her child without income. Fortunately, her COVID has finally cleared and she is scheduled for gallbladder surgery and removal just before Christmas. Her recovery will take at least another 4 weeks.
Maisie is the kind of person who shows up for her community time and again, not just helping children heal from trauma and the trials of a pandemic, but also volunteering and raising funds to help others to survive and thrive. Now she needs us to show up for her by donating funds to help cover her living costs until she can get back to work. Unfortunately, she can only access a week of leave and whatever extra leave her coworkers may donate. That leaves her needing about $6000 to support herself and her child, and unknown additional medical costs once the surgery is complete.
Maisie shared that this illness was especially discouraging because she had worked so hard to overcome the challenges of life long chronic illness, and raising a child on her own and was THRIVING for perhaps the first time in her life. The medical debt and financial insecurity resulting from lost work and her co-pays in the medical bills could knock her back into survival mode - or worse - but you can help by donating a generous for you amount to help Maisie meet her immediate needs and pay off her medical bills, too. When Maisie is well enough to return to her fulltime job, we want her to thrive once again, not have the worries of eviction and homelessness or the stress of serious debt weighing her down!
Donors will receive updates on the campaign and Maisie's ongoing recovery, respecting her privacy and that of her small family. Can you also ask a friend or share this fundraiser on your own social media?
