Life of the party, giving, caring, fiesty, honest, loving, loyal. Some of the things that make America, well America. But, about two years ago and suddenly she became paralyzed. Every movement causing excruciating pain. Days turned into weeks, months, years. If you know America, she is a free spirit and most always positive. CIDP took a lot away from her. But, it didn't take her will. She is fighting daily to regain her freedom. She is also fighting for her amazing son, Derrick. Derrick has downs syndrome and is also in a wheelchair. Needing a wheelchair that will cost her thousands and medical supplies that cost hundreds of dollars a month have hit her and her family hard. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.
