Emergency Help with Medical Treatment and Costs

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Alondra. As some of you may know, I have been sick for a very long time. For others who don’t, I have struggled my entire life with health issues. It wasn’t until September 2021 that I was suddenly diagnosed with a neurological condition (dysautonomia) that affects my autonomic nervous system not allowing me to control my heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature. This has landed me needing emergency care multiple times and continues to be an issue. Everything has gone downhill since then. Now, I have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune and chronic pain conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia), an endocrine disorder and stomach damage. I am on immunosuppressive treatment for my autoimmune disease and on hormone treatment for my endocrine disorder. Yet, I am still continuing to have issues and I cannot work. I have exhausted my benefits (FMLA, short term disability) and have no choice but to ask for help. I am a health care worker, but I am also a patient. I do not want to ask for help, but at this point I need a Hail Mary because I no longer have a choice. My medical bills, copays, and constant lab testing has become too much.

If you are able to donate anything at all, it would be greatly appreciated as I cannot afford food and basic necessities anymore. All of the money will go towards medical costs and basic necessities (food, gas for transportation to appointments mainly). 

Thank you. It is truly appreciated, and I am eternally grateful for those who have just shown moral support throughout these times.
