A Weighted Blanket for Fiona to help with pain

Posted Jun 15, 2020
In April 2020, Fiona was supposed to undergo hip surgery with the hope that it will decrease, if not eliminate, her nerve pain that has rapidly increased over this past year. She has been experiencing ongoing nerve pain and with surgery not being rescheduled yet, she is needing alternative ways to cope with the pain. Fiona is often in pain and her body is often exhausted. She is interested in a weighted blanket to help relieve the pain and to keep her body warm so her body does not ache. This would help Fiona's pain in the summer and winter months, which would allow her to be in better spirits and have the energy to do other activities. Fiona can also use this blanket while she travels and stays in the hospital.

Fiona is 20 years old and lives in OR

Fiona enjoys school and takes pride in her academic achievements. She typically has high grades and participates in the Minds Matter Program. The Minds Matter Program is not only a mentoring program, but it prepares young adults for college. She maintains a positive outlook and enjoys volunteering in the community, playing instruments, creating art, and listening to music. Fiona enjoys learning Spanish and American Sign Language. Gradually over time, Fiona has become more dependent on her wheelchair and has limited mobility. Despite, Fiona's medical conditions, she remains motivated in life and continues to volunteer and help others.
