Rare heart condition and moving by August
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Angela I created this page to help me with living/moving expenses due to recent extensive hospitalization, which caused me to be out of work for some time. I am a single mother to my 3 yr old daughter….and really need help to get my life back in order. Being away from my daughter has been the hardest part!
In the last 5 years I have have tremendous medical and financial setbacks. In 2017, I lost my job due to being diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a Positive ANA marker (autoimmune) and no clear medical diagnosis on how the autoimmune was further affecting my health.
Then in 2018 it was determined that it was Mixed Connective Tissue Disease with various autoimmune markers including Lupus. I also started having a recent onset of rheumatoid arthritis factors.
However, in December 2021 after receiving my Covid -19 vaccine and still contracting Covid, my health has been on a downward spiral. I ended up with Covid pneumonia and have had health complications ever since then. Most recently, I was hospitalized in May 2022 due to complications with my heart related to Covid and my autoimmune diseases.
I have been in the hospital for 3 weeks and now have been told that I also have Wolf-Parkinson’s. I’ve begin to have some complications from this diagnosis including Ventricular tachycardia, with long haul Covid pneumonia still in my lungs, Mixed Connective with Lupus, and my Cushing’s diagnosis. But what hospitalized me was being diagnosed with myopericarditis which is inflammation in my heart muscle and surrounding heart sac. This caused me damage to the heart muscle and now I’m on the road to recovery to get back to a somewhat normal existence and be a great mother to my daughter, who relies on me solely!
With these amount of medical concerns I have have not been able to work. Unfortunately, my living expenses also increased by 40% with the rental hikes affecting many people these days. Before this last hospitalization I was preparing to move into something more affordable but now with not being able to work, I am unable move.
With these medical setbacks… I am asking for assistance to help me pay for movers, packers, and other moving related expenses. I am not able to lift or move anything at all due to the heart issues and hospitalization. Even with little movement my elevated heart rate is a concern!
