Jennifer Karen Corkrey O'Hara

We have created this site to help raise money to help pay some of the medical expenses for our daughter, sister and friend, Jennifer Karen Corkrey O’Hara.

 

Jenn suffers from a rare debilitating incurable disease called Intracranial Hypertension (IH).  This disease causes her to go blind, suffer severe headaches, and has taken away the happy life she once knew.  We  hope to bring awareness about IH to aide in research for a possible cure. 


Jennifer has had IH for over 4 years now. It effects her and her loved ones daily. It not only causes her to go blind, it gives her memory loss, attacks her nervous system, and causes headaches that are 5 times that of a migrane. Jennifer can no longer work as she once did as an Operation Manager which causes hardship on her and her husband.


Unfortunately her husband, Brendan O'Hara, has had to be effected by the economy's troubles. After 22 years of working for an engineering firm, Brendan lost his job. He has not been able to find work in his field. It has been a really tough 4 years on Jennifer and Brendan, but it would never show on their faces.


Jennifer in recovery.




Intracranial hypertension literally means that the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the skull is too high.

We need your help.  Jenn needs your help.

We've set up quick and easy ways for you to assist.  You can use Paypal, wire money directly into the Jennifer's account, use a credit card, or you can send a financial gift the old fashion way to:
