Help Erica Breathe Again
Donation protected
Hi, my names Erica DeFilippo, I'm a mother to a 5 year old boy named Theodore and I have a condition that has ruined my quality of life, so I now must ask others for help.
I underwent a poorly performed sinus surgery years ago to correct breathing problems that I was having at the time, that left me damaged, constantly suffocating and hyperventilating. I’m unable to sleep because of a damaged autonomic nervous system. The condition is called Empty Nose Syndrome. It’s torture that no human should ever experience.
To try to correct this, I need reconstructive procedures, that insurance doesn’t cover. I have Ohio Medicaid and need to see out of state doctors.
If you can donate to my healing I’d greatly appreciate it.❤️ I know I need to at least try, and I my son would appreciate it too. One day, I hope to advocate against these harmful surgeries and help others who are suffering. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.❤️
