Dena's Medical Bills
Donation protected
Dena Disney (Whipple) has been in a long and brutal fight against Lyme disease and the effect it has had on her digestive system. As of October 2016 it has been 2 years of this health nightmare for her. She has not been physically able to eat a real or normal portion meal in 2 years without severe reaction. Most foods make her feel as though she's being poisoned and only gets about 500 calories (on good days!). The new food usually leaves her on the couch and completely miserable for about 10+ hours. She is deteriorating from lack of nutrition, but it's not from a lack of trying to eat! Her Lyme treatment was successful in the way that her Lyme is in remission. She is currently in treatment in Reno because doctors are concerned that she is at risk for a heart attack or stroke since she has, according to doctors, "severe starvation and dehydration." There are many medical bills awaiting her and we want to give her the peace of recovering without the dread of finacial burdens. Absolutely anything helps!
