Help Janelle with Medical Expenses
Donation protected
Hello my name is Jennifer and that beautiful lady in the picture is my sister, Janelle. She is a teacher at The Salon Professional Academy in Dallas, Texas. This year has been tough as she was diagnosed with FSGS. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a disease in which scar tissue develops on the parts of the kidneys that filter waste from the blood (glomeruli). She is in End stage renal failure. Then she was diagnosed with postulate psoriasis. Pustular psoriasis is a rare and severe form of psoriasis that involves widespread inflammation of the skin and small white or yellow pus-filled blisters or pustules. The pus consists of white blood cells and is not a sign of infection. This is on top of the Crohns that she has lived with for years. She was trying to get better and get to the correct doctors (that her insurance would allow), and then 26 days ago she was diagnosed with Covid and was hospitalized where she spent 21 days sedated on a ventilator in ICU. She is awake now and on the mend, but she needs to transfer to a long term care facility that her insurance is currently denying. She needs this transfer so she can rehab as Covid did harm her body and she has to learn how to function with the permanent changes to her body and her systems. This is while still needing dialysis 3 times a week. Janelle is not married, and both of our parents have passed. If I could afford to pay her medical bills I would but I cannot. Her insurance helps but there is still a lot that she owes and will owe. Janelle is an amazing person who will do anything to help others and she needs help now. She was named educator of the year last year and loves her Camero, Elvira. The cover photo is Janelle before disease took over. She is vibrant, funny, and loved! I know we all have expenses but please consider donating to help, any amount is greatly appreciated. The picture below was taken the first day she was awake on October 23, 2021.
