    Update!!

About this fundraiser

UPDATE: After having surgery I am still having extreme headaches and dizziness. Because of this I am scheduled with neuroscience tomorrow. My specialist believes it is either Menieres Disease or Vestibular Migraines. Neither are curable or predictable. I have applied for disability but the wait is tremendous. I am doing what I can, but unfortunately I am falling behind again on everything and don't know what to do. I am unable to drive any distance because of the dizziness and am unable to work because I can not sit or stand for extended periods of time. I have missed out on so much this past year. I am just asking for a miracle to help me continue to get through this. Please share if you can. Thank you. 

In September of 2024 I had to be rushed to the hospital because we thought I was having a stroke. I was not, but was diagnosed with an undetermined caused migraine. I was referred to a neurologist. Of course the wait time to get into neurology was over 2 months, during which I was in and out of the hospital several time because I was losing my vision, had outrageous headaches, and numb limbs. Finally my work decided I was missing too much and I needed to resign in order to be in good standing to be rehired at a later date. Finally in November after being out of work for a month I was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension and none of the medications they have tried are working so I am scheduled with neurosurgery on January 3rd. I have not worked since October 28th, I am 2 months behind on every bill I have and am looking at a pretty decent amount of recovery time after surgery. Including not being able to drive for several months. Please consider helping me and my family out while we proceed through this difficult time. I don't usually ask for help but at this point I'm going to end up homeless and my car repossessed so I don't know what else to do other than swallow my pride and ask for anyone with a generous heart to help. I understand if you are unable to donate but if you could please share that would be great too! Thank you for taking time to read my story. Bless you and yours!
