Elisa's Fight to Live;Medical Needs

Donation protected


Elisabeth, a MOM to 7(YES-7 children) and a Registered Nurse is in a fight for her life and desperately needs Help so she can Literally live her life again and regain her health.
Her health has drastically deteriorated since last fall and her body is wasting away and the doctors DON'T KNOW WHY, YET.
This is why She NEEDS HELP!
I am afraid she could die because of all that is happening to her, she is getting sicker by the day. Unfortunately Several of the medical tests are NOT PAID FOR by her insurance YET THEY are needed IN ORDER TO FIND HER DIAGNOSIS AND CORRECT TREATMENT! This is very scary for her and her family. Her body is being attacked by something unknown and she is suffering.

When I think of Elisabeth 2 words come to mind; Faith and Loyalty. Once you have befriended her, you have a friend for life. With her faith and strength she keeps a smile on her face for her 7 children despite the tremendous amount of pain and hardships she is in and has endured. There's a huge struggle hidden behind her smiles. Elisabeth is probably the strongest woman I know!

Many don't know the complicated and painful health battles Elisabeth has been fighting for the last 6 years!!! It's now a struggle for her just to get out of bed, her quality of life is nil and unfortunately her doctors must purposefully Make her symptoms WORSE in order to find what is wrong.
The proposed PLAN; Her doctors need to reduce the medications (steroids and immunosuppressants) that mask and decrease some of her symptoms so the crushing pain, severe body stiffness, and full body inflammation get Worse and MORE VISIBLE SO THAT THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS CAN BE FOUND. She MUST gather the funds to get these tests OR she will continue to waste away, get sicker, and become more bedridden, or Worse. This will be very painful, dangerous, and also expensive.

At the end of the year Elisabeth had no choice but to temporary go on leave and file short term disability from being a Registered Nurse. Her passion has always been giving and helping others, now she needs help. After losing 25lbs, and now not being able to absorb nutrients she became too weak to get out of bed, or even take care of herself or her children. She has just been denied disability income and her income has now STOPPED!
Her incredibly supportive husband Brian has been doing all he can to hold life together for Elisabeth and the kids while working full time, taking the bulk of raising the kids upon himself and helping Elisabeth to try and function. Her husband and 7 children are also suffering in their own ways because they are witnessing Elisabeth being so ill and without answers and to WHY!!!
This family could really use a break, some serious financial support and help and lots of prayers!!!

Just the thought of what is to come in these next few months is nerve-racking.
This is a beyond scary ordeal, not only because it is so dangerous as she could go into shock and be hospitalized for an unknown amount of time, but she will also be in excruciating pain, unable to care for herself or simply walk without help.
She will also need to have help caring for her 6 younger children while she is bedridden and in the hospital because her husband can not take leave from his job. The children are TERRIFIED that their beloved mommy may die!

I don’t know how Elisabeth is still functioning. I know some of the other struggles she has been through that would normally break a person, but not her......She just simply states “God will provide, He always has, He always will”; something she’s reminded me of for many years. I don’t know what I’d do without her friendship, guidance and help. ❤

Elisabeth has shown me what True friendship and loyalty truly are. I have taken on this role to make this campagin because I know her well enough that she would never beg for help. This is the least I can do for everything that she has given me, and not just material objects, but for all the strength she has given me to keep fighting when I wanted to give up. I HOPE and PRAY many people will rally with us to give her that same helping hand that she has given me and so many others.
www.angelwingscustomthings.com is a website for products she makes and her husband sells, if you don't want to donate but want to help in some way, the proceeds from these products will go towards her medical needs. She said she will try her best to get those products to you as she is physically able.

Let me tell you my story with Elisabeth and why I have decided to start this fundraising campaign.

I first met Elisabeth almost a decade ago at a “Jump for Jesus” (skydiving) event at church and I watched her jump out of that plane with no fear, while my feet were planted on the ground. I just remember how she made me feel that day and just how courageous this beautiful woman is.

I would have never guessed that years later I would run into her in a moment that I needed spiritual guidance and help getting out of an abusive relationship. She literally took me into her home, helped me to detox, and showed me unconditional love. When I first moved in with Elisabeth she was pregnant with her twins that are number 6 and 7 of all her children. She was placed on bed rest very early on in the pregnancy and was very sick.
That is when I remember the debilitating body pain and headaches starting for her and her health has spiraled out of control since then, leaving her doctors baffled. Even with new issues piling on, she somehow maintains to stay strong and keeps pushing for answers. She NEEDS this help and support in order to get answers.

Elisabeth has shown me what it is to be a good mother, fight for truth, justice, and all the while maintain my sanity through it all and NEVER give up NO matter what circumstances in life hit me.

I am forever grateful for Elisabeth for everything that she has done for me. This campagin is the very least that I can do for her. Even with her current situation she has handed me the keys to her house allowing me to sell possessions to help pay for my custody case to protect my young children. That right there is God's gift of friendship. I love you so much Elisabeth and pray that you will get some answers so that you can live that happy, joyous and free life that you deserve.

Please consider donating to my sweet friend, sharing her story, and most importantly, keeping her and her family in prayer.

Thank you!
