Story
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to visit my GoFundMe page and read my story. My name is Shatay Jenkins, and I am 36 years old. I was born and raised in Spartanburg County. I am a wife, a mother of one, and the youngest of six siblings. I have a deep passion for crafting, cooking, baking, listening to music, learning new things, and spending time with my family. Unfortunately, I have been facing a challenging health condition called Hydrocephalus. This condition involves a buildup of fluid in the deep cavities of the brain, putting pressure on the brain and causing various symptoms such as vision issues, vomiting, loss of concentration and balance, fatigue, and problems with speech, memory, and thinking. It also affects personality, impulse control, and causes severe migraines. To address this condition and improve my quality of life, I need to undergo a major brain surgery called Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt placement. This procedure involves creating a small hole in the brain and connecting a shunt catheter that passes through the neck, chest, and into the stomach. This shunt helps drain the excess fluid from my brain, relieving the pressure and preventing further damage. The cost of this surgery and ongoing medical care is significant, and I am reaching out for your support and generosity. Your donations will directly contribute to covering these medical expenses and ensuring that I can receive the necessary treatment to live a healthier and more fulfilling life. I deeply appreciate any contribution, big or small, towards my medical fund. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to me and my family. Thank you for standing with me on this journey toward healing and recovery. With heartfelt gratitude, Shatay Jenkins We also accept!
