Please help Clover

I'm reaching out today to share something that’s been weighing heavily on my heart, and I could really use your help.

Our sweet Clover at only 8 months old has recently fallen ill, and we’ve just learned that she might be suffering from Masticatory Muscle Myositis (MMM), a rare autoimmune disease. Which is extremely painful condition and looses all chewing and facial muscles. It’s been tough to watch her struggle; she’s lost the ability to use her jaw and can’t open her mouth to chew her food. In just a few days, she’s lost a lot of weight and muscle, and it breaks my heart. She’s had bloods, and bloods for MMM but could be a false negative with medication she’s already on. She’s anaemic low red blood cells, and lacking on proteins where she is in so much pain and cannot eat.

We’re facing some tough choices ahead. To figure out the best treatment for Clover, she needs some invasive tests, like an MRI, and we also need to see a neurologist. Unfortunately, we’ve been told that we won’t receive any financial help for these necessary procedures, which has left us feeling pretty overwhelmed.

I’m reaching out to our wonderful community for support. If you’re able to contribute, even a little bit, it would mean the world to us and help Clover get the care she needs. I’m scared for her future, but I’m determined to do everything I can to help her pull through.

Please consider sharing Clover's story with your friends and family. Your kindness and support can make a huge difference in her life, and I can’t thank you enough for being there for us during this tough time. I will of course keep all updated on her health and what next steps are! We are currently on way for trail steroids. And will need physical therapy. But will keep all updated.

With all my love and gratitude,

Laura + Clover
