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

On Airbnb, you can book unique places to stay from local hosts anywhere in the world. Explore over one million homes in over 34,000 cities.
Find a place that inspires you - whether it's for your next family vacation or a necessary (and not always anticipated) trip. Airbnb is a travel portal like no other because, with it, you can find one-of-a-kind places to stay in more than 190 nations worldwide.
Airbnb provides trusted services to find unique listings in private residences and has a messaging system to connect hosts and guests, as well as a secure platform to transfer payments using their app. See how far your dreams can take you and your friends when you give AirBnB Gift Cards!
Why We Love This Gift: Honestly, sometimes, permission to take a trip can be hard. Equally, sometimes expensive travel is necessary. One of the editors of Give InKind met a recently widowed woman who "confessed" (her word) to wanting to escape after the death of her husband following a long illness. She felt she could not justify the expense of a trip. Another family we have met along the way needed a place to stay while visiting a medical specialist far away from their home. People who lose their homes to natural disasters or as a result of financial strain need a place to stay. Lodging is an expensive component to any unforeseen circumstance. Remember to ask: where are you staying?
What To Say In Your Card: I know that the expense of travel is significant. I hope you don't mind my trying to offset some of it.

One card, millions of ways to enjoy it. Use the App Store &amp; iTunes Gift Card to get apps, games, music, movies and TV shows. Available in a variety of denominations - spend it on in-app content, books, TV show subscriptions or even iCloud storage to secure files from all your Apple devices.
Why We Love This Gift: This is a great gift for anyone. Teenagers love it as much as kids do. The versatility is tremendous. One mom told our editors that during her daughter's pediatric cancer treatment, the option to use screens enabled her to communicate with doctors without alarming her child. As much as parents would prefer kids don't spend too much time on a screen it is sometimes necessary. (And you can store files, listen to music, and and ....)
What To say In Your Card: I wasn't sure what you needed, but music (or other distractions) sometimes help. I thought you might be able to keep this in your back pocket. Thinking of you.

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
