Help Alyssa to Afford Essentials

Donation protected
Alyssa Fitzmorris is an amazing young lady who goes out of her way to help anyone in need. She is the most selfless person that I know, who always puts others first.

This time it is our turn to help her.

The donated funds will be used to help Alyssa and her mom (Rosalie) live a more comfortable life and help to take away some constant worries and stress about how to pay for the essentials that Alyssa needs to live.

Alyssa lives with a rare blood disorder called Porphyria. This is a chronic illness that affects many areas of her life. One of these areas is that this illness makes it impossible for Alyssa to have a typical job.

Alyssa is not one to ask for anything. She has attempted various jobs over the years that were able to offer her working conditions and sick time allowances that worked for her, but unfortunately working is just not something that her illness will allow her to do, no matter how much she wants to. She sells crafts and baked goods (which are amazing by the way!) both as a way to gain money, and as a way to enjoy life and give to others. The money from these activities is simply not enough.

What will your money go towards?

Some things include: Vehicle maintenance, essential food for Alyssa's medically specialized diet, and house bills including heat and electricity. Essentially Alyssa needs help to afford the basics: shelter, food, clothing, essentials.

Alyssa requires treatments at the hospital every couple of weeks. These treatments consist of spending 3 consecutive days at the hospital. Money is needed to keep a vehicle maintained, to have gas to travel back and forth to the hospital, for vehicle insurance, etc. Having a reliable vehicle is very important as there are no forms of public transport that can be used to go back and forth from the hospital.

Alyssa's illness also creates issues of rapid weight loss and weight gain. She requires clothing to fit her at her different sizes. She is a frugal shopper, and only buys basics, but she needs money to afford simple things that we may take for granted, such as pajamas - which are more like a luxury to her.

The money will help with buying food. Alyssa’s diet is strict due to her illness. Unfortunately using a service like the food bank would not work for her as she requires very specific items from the store. She does not want to waste good food that could go to another family in need.

Thank you so much for your kindness in donating!

It means the world to be able to help someone who does so much for others, and deserves to have a little bit of comfort in her life!
