Stand Up For Gina

Gina Stahl-Haven suffered a life-threatening medical emergency on November 28, 2023 and was rushed to the hospital. There, it was discovered that she had multiple blood clots in her brain that were/are inoperable. Gina has been in and out of the hospital over and over again with little relief. She continually suffers from severe headaches that render her unable to care for her children, leave her bed or even at times to open her eyes to the light of the outside world.

Gina has had to cope with the uncertainty of what might happen to her and she is left to take strong medications with side effects in the hopes that the clots will resolve themselves. This sudden illness has thrown her entire family into major chaos. Additionally, Gina’s husband, Bryan, was laid-off in September 23’ and has been caring for Gina and their children, while also trying to find work.

We are here to Stand Up For Gina and her wonderful family! Despite the stress of her situation, Gina continues to make us all laugh and would do anything for the “Joke”. She now lovingly calls herself Blood Clot Barbie.
