My Mother’s Savage Daughter needs our help

Karen Haakenson-Kahan, know to many as Wyndreth Berginsdottir, has been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a progressive form of dementia that affects thinking, reasoning, and information processing. It’s an umbrella term for two similar dementia subtypes: dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia. Both are characterized by brain damage caused by Lewy bodies, which are abnormal protein deposits that build up in brain cells. Her husband, Harry/Vlad, needs financial assistance to care for her.

Many people know Karen/Wyndreth as the author of the powerful song “My Mother’s Savage Daugher” and many other songs. (The cover video has been viewed 624k times since it was first posted 16 years ago.)

Her husband, Harry/Vlad, needs financial assistance to care for her. He is self-employed and is under-insured as many who rely on the ACA are. Karen, too, has been under-insured and they need our help now.

I know we are an incredible community of very caring people and are hoping that we can come together and help

Tranding Fundraisers

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
