Hope for Tesla- Huntingtons disease

Donation protected
My wife, Tesla Russell, a loving caring wife and mom, was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease a cruel neurodegenerative genetic disorder in 2016 at the young age of 25. Tesla lost her mother in 2015 at the age of 45 to this disease. For those who don’t know Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure,  but medication, physical therapy, and talk therapy can help manage some symptoms she has. Over the past two years she has had severe memory loss, emotional outburst, social anxiety, unable to make descions for herself, even with medication she is unable to get a full nights sleep and has started having severe depression. She is unable to follow conversations at times or understand them. This last year things have gotten a lot worse so we have obtained many new costs being medical bills(doctors and medication)and child care since she is no longer able to watch the kids. I am the only one able to work, and she is only able to pull SSI which is based off my pay. This is very difficult time for us along  with trying to take care of her, and our 2 boys.  I am asking for donations to help with the following: -medical bills(medication and copays) -childcare cost - food and bills for daily living
