On Monday December 20, 2010 our dear Joni Knott suffered a brain aneurysm while getting ready for work. Her boss became concerned when she didn't report to work. Several concerned friends and co-workers were trying to reach her as well. By noon, she was discovered unconscious. She was taken to Frederick Memorial Hospital where they did a CT scan and it was discovered that she had a substantial amount of blood on her brain. She was airlifted to Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC. By 8PM that night, she underwent a 6 hour surgery to clamp the burst artery and 2 drainage tubes were inserted to relieve the pressure from her brain. Everyday, Joni is showing signs of improvement and we have hope and faith in her recovery. However, at this time, she is still in a very critical state and will have a long road to recovery. Joni is a very hard worker and was the sole provider in her household. Unfortunately, since Joni is unable to work now, there is no income to meet her monthly obligations. We desperately want to save her home until we can better determine what her prognosis will be.

At this time her family and friends are asking for prayers and donations to help pay her monthly household and medical expenses.

Thank you for your concern. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. God Bless!
