For decades, Chicago music legend Holle Thee Maxwell has been entertaining us with her fiery vocals and explosive stage presence.
Now we have the chance to help her after all that she has given us.
The Chicago Blues Hall of Fame inductee recently underwent major knee surgery.
"I
am thankful the surgery was successful, but the recovery has been far
more difficult than I expected," Maxwell said in a message. "I am in a great deal of pain, and I have
been told I need extended physical therapy in order to stand, walk and regain my independence.
The
challenge is that these treatments — along with my basic living
expenses — are more than I can manage alone right now. I have always
tried to be strong, but at this moment in my life, I must humbly ask for
your help."
Her friends have created a GoFundMe page to support her recovery. Contributions will go toward additional physical therapy sessions, medical and mobility needs and monthly living expenses during recovery.
