💜 An Update on Brandy 💜
In February 2025, Brandy was involved in a serious car accident that caused significant neck and spinal injuries. What was hoped to be a recovery with treatment instead became a long and difficult medical journey.
After months of worsening symptoms, Brandy underwent major neck surgery in October 2025, requiring a full plate replacement due to the extent of the damage. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning.
Now that her neck surgery is complete, doctors are finding more extensive damage throughout her spine and hips. Brandy is currently facing at least 1–3 additional major surgeries, with the possibility of more, all needing to be done in stages. She is dealing with SI joint dysfunction in both hips, worsening nerve pain down both legs, and severe mobility limitations.
At this point, Brandy is fully reliant on help from others, including hands-on physical assistance. She lives alone, which has made daily life and medical needs incredibly difficult. She is unable to work and has exhausted her savings and resources.
Right now, Brandy urgently needs support, especially help with:
A wheelchair-accessible ramp to safely enter and exit her home
Basic household bills while she remains medically unable to work
This request for help is being shared around the holidays, but it is not related to holiday expenses — it is simply the reality of where her health and finances are right now.
A local friend has started a GoFundMe to help support Brandy through this next phase of her recovery. Any support — donating, sharing, or offering encouragement — truly means the world.
Thank you for reading, sharing, and showing up for Brandy. 💜
