Help Jody (McClure) Donnelly with medical bills
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jodi Simons, and I'm fundraising to help Jody (McClure) Donnelly with her medical expenses. Jody will be doing a 3-week intensive outpatient program at Prism Spine and Joint, which specializes in treating Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and related conditions such as Cranio-Cervical Instability (CCI). The facility is in Silver Spring, MD, which is two hours away from Jody's home. She will need to stay in a hotel suite with a full kitchen (with her twin sister, Judy) because of her dietary restrictions. Jody has been bedbound since October 2022 because of these conditions and has been homebound for three and a half years. She has many coexisting conditions that have resulted in excrutiating, debilitating symptoms. None of the treatments she tried in the past three years have worked. The cost of the Prism program is $12,000 (not covered by insurance), and the hotel suite will cost $8,000. Jody's only income is alimony. She has already used all of her savings and retirement funds on treatments and doctors, so it would be great if we can band together and offer some financial assistance.
