Last year my mom was diagnosed with lipedema
(Chronic underrecognized medical condition that cause a painful symmetrical buildup of fat under the skin.)
She was told to take the time off of work to heal from this chronic disorder but was unable to do due to living in today's society.
Unfourtunately, as of 10/11/2026 we now what we are dealing with is a buildup of cellulitis and has caused an infection in her bloodstream. NOW She is she has to take time off work there's no if and/or buts about it. This is per doctors orders. Her job is safe and she will have a job to return to. Another unfortunate factor is during this time her leave will be unpaid. We are setting up a fundraiser to get donations to help her with funding for her home and other bills that come along with that. Anything would help $5, $10, etc. anything helps right now. We just want to make it so that she can rest easy and doesn't have to worry about going back to work at this time. Also not only money to cover home expenses medical ones will follow although she has insurane, the specialists are going to be expensive and the copays alone are $90 per visit. That does not include the doctor's visits as well which are $40 she was already down and out in the hospital for a week and she has missed up to 2 weeks so far. My sister, brother, and I are trying to put together this fundraiser to help her so that way she can not stress about her home life as well as trying to heal from this. Anything helps.
Please donate to comment.
