The Friends of Rose Park issued this call to action on behalf of a huge stalwart of our community, Christi Cline. Please consider contributing to help her out!

To the Rose Park Community

One of our quiet but stalwart supporters needs our help. Most of you have met Christi and Andy Cline at market events, during a visit from Santa Claus, or just walking your dog through the park. Christi suffered a stroke a month ago, which came out of nowhere, especially given her relatively young age.  She ended up partially (and hopefully temporarily) paralyzed on one side.  A lack of sufficient insurance meant finding a rehab facility was extremely difficult, but Andy finally managed to get her admitted last week.  She’s already making progress, which is great news.  However, their insurance will not cover this essential rehabilitation.  Combined with the initial hospital charges, which insurance is also not covering, their medical costs will be catastrophic.
 
Christi and Andy have graced us with their kindness and in return many people have expressed a wish to help.  One of their friends/clients, put together a Go Fund Me fundraiser to help Andy & Christi weather this challenge.  We are helping by sharing this information with people from the Rose Park community.
Thank you for any support you’re able to offer. All funds will go directly to payment of Christi’s medical expenses.  The site creator included a breakdown of actual and projected medical costs to date in the Go Fund Me document. The report from a visit with Christi Sunday is that she looks great and is working hard to get out of rehab by June 7th so she can continue her recovery at home.   Please keep Christi and Andy in your thoughts and prayers!
