About this fundraiser

Hello

I never thought I would be doing this, but here I am. I need help. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis one year ago. I’ve also been diagnosed with a handful of other illnesses that have made life extraordinarily difficult, especially trying to make ends meet. I cannot afford my medication and am now behind on medical bills, regular daily living bills and I need some help. I’ve tried every avenue. I work full-time and also work a second job, and I’m still struggling. I had 11 MRIs on my brain and spine in 2025.

I am sorry. I have faith that God is doing His work, but I still need to ask for some assistance.

Recently, as of the last 3 months, I have started to get a hot burning 🔥 sensation under my skin and it shows up randomly in different places on my body.  I am being told that this new symptom is called, Dysesthesia: Unpleasant abnormal sensations often described as acid under the skin, caused by nervous system issues.  I am praying this doesn’t mean that I am progressing further into this disease.  🦠  Along with that, I also have Chronic Migraine Disease.  Along with that I also have something called Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR): Fluid builds up under the retina, often triggered by stress, high cortisol levels, which cause me to randomly go blind in one or both eyes temporarily.  I am regularly fighting heavy weighed down legs, chronic neck pain, severe muscle tightness in my trapezius muscles in my upper back,  vertigo and headaches.  I have a very low tolerance to heat and stress.  I am a mess but I push through everyday and I just need help to get back on track.  I go back for more testing in May 2026 and travel 6 hours one way.   I will always give forward and give back in any way possible.  I am truly blessed and grateful for your time and grace.  I will update you with anything new. ❤️‍🩹
