BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)– A Boulder woman who has contracted COVID-19 twice is now trying to hang on to the home where she and her son live. Hannah Rice had COVID-19 last year and this year and now has what is called “long COVID” or a kind of brain fog.

“I’m the mom of a very sweet two-year-old boy, a single mom, and if I had to pick up and move I wouldn’t be able to do it myself,” she said.
That boy is Aran, now featured in a GoFundMe campaign called Han’s Hope to raise the rent money.

Life has not been easy. Hannah already was suffering from a chronic disease affecting her immune system when she got COVID-19 in March of last year. She mostly recovered then got it again this year.
“I was a little astounded… I was shocked that I was reinfected after everything I went through last year,” said Hannah.

She has not been able to do her work as a piano teacher and now finds herself in need of help. Her sister Kathyrn has been her best to assist, but the road ahead for Hannah and Aran appears to be rough.
