WCF Nestie Needs Your Help

Hi Ladies!  Two weeks ago a friend of mine named Hannah Brannan, age 27 and a mother of 2, suffered a massive stroke due to her prescription for Yaz birth control pills. Hannah has since had several surgeries and procedures and she is currently paralyzed on her left side and has had to have part of her skull removed to allow for the swelling of her brain. And as of yesterday, doctors have detected a new clot that they are very concerned about.  This is not the first incident of this kind with Yaz as there are currently tons of lawsuits dealing with the same issue around the country.  So first and foremost I would like to warn all of you about Yaz.

Secondly, I want to ask for your help.  A friend of Hannah's is organizing a fishing tournament on Saturday, December 12th at Cockroach Bay in Ruskin, FL for Hannah and her family.  If you, your H, or anyone you know would be interested in participating in the tournament, please visit the link below for additional information.  We also need to get prizes donated, so even if you cannot or do not fish, you can still help in this aspect.  Or if you or anyone you know would be interested in making a donation directly to Hannah and her family that would be amazing too.

  • We can't attend the tournament, but I wanted to say that I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.  That is so awful what happened to her.  I will check out her blog.

  • Wow. My H and I cannot attend the event either due to business travel. I just want to send my condolences to you and your friend. Thank you for posting this. I hope some of the local nesties can help.
  • DH and I also cannot attend, but your friend is in my thoughts!
  • So sorry to hear about your friend! A similar thing happened to a friend of mine due to Ortho Evra.... she unfortunately did not make it. Birth control is a crazy thing!!!! I hope your friend gets the medical help that she needs, and I hope she recovers very quickly!
    In the end, only kindness matters... -Jewel- Married 5.8.05 Mom to Tahlia Summer - born 6.21.2010
  • That is so terrible. I'm so sorry for your friend.  My cousin had to have emergency gallbladder surgery to have it removed because of Yaz.  I think you are right in warning people.  I hope your friend recovers and heals quickly.
