Help Joselynn Recover First Human case H5N1

Hi, my name is Amber, and I'm reaching out on behalf of a brave young girl, Joselynn, who needs our urgent help.

In November 2024, she made international headlines as the first confirmed human case of H5N1 (Bird Flu). What started as a simple illness ( double eye infection) quickly escalated into something far more serious. After months of intensive care, she underwent her first surgery to recover her voice due to the condition and placement of the ventilator and Ecmo earlier this year. Now, doctors have scheduled a second crucial surgery that will potentially give her voice back and improve her recovery and long-term health.

Joselynn is only 13 years old and has already shown extraordinary strength and resilience. But the road to full recovery is long and expensive. The costs of medical care, travel for treatments/ rehabilitation, specialized therapy, and now this second surgery are far more than the family can bear alone

We're asking for your help to raise $10,000 to cover:

  • The upcoming extra surgery and post-operative care
  • Ongoing medical treatment and medications
  • Travel and lodging near the hospital
  • Physical and Emotional therapy to support her full recovery

Every donation- no matter the amount-makes a difference. If you're unable to give, please consider sharing this page with your friends, family, and social networks.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting Joselynn and giving her a fighting chance to return to a healthy, happy life.

With gratitude,

Amber and The Armstrong family
