Because several members at East Side have expressed interest in donang funds to assist Sis. Joyce Felix, here is the informaon she provided: My daughter’s brain stopped funconing on May 30, 2017. She has to relearn to walk and talk. As a realtor, she was fired because she can’t walk or talk well. Her hospital and doctors’ bills are mounng up and she sll needs a spinal tap and brain tests to get a specialist, as she has not been diagnosed yet since none of the neurologists know what’s wrong with her. Since she’s a veteran, she can’t see one of the two known specialists in the Ausn area, as she has to go to the veteran medical facilies. The gofundme account is asking for assistance from individuals to donate money to assist in paying for it all and to see the specialists outside the veteran network. The link to her page is below. hps://funds.gofundme.com/mobile/dashboard?url=help-kat-pay-hospital- expenses-and Note: This is strictly voluntary if you would like to help the Felix family. This is not a church-sponsored effort, so please see Sis. Felix with questions or if you would like to offer support.
