Help Kimberly go to Mayo Clinic
Donation protected
Kimberly has battled issues with Lupus since childhood but was not formally diagnosed until she was in her late 20s. However, this has been her toughest year yet.
She has battled five months of pericarditis, five months (and counting) of heart tachycardia with no known cause. Most recently, she has had two strokes that led to blood clots in each eye. All while being considered in remission. She has been bedridden for 6 months, and has had to learn to rely on others which has been a struggle seeing as she is usually the one helping others.
Kimberly has been given the opportunity to visit the Mayo Clinic to undergo more extensive testing to figure out why her body is doing all that it is. Going to the Mayo Clinic is a chance for Kimberly to get her body and her life back so that she can continue to be healthy and able to care for her family. While she is nervous about this trip and the costs it may bring upon her household, it also brings upon something she had been missing for awhile. Hope!
Please consider helping her along this journey. Anything helps, even if it’s sharing her story to help it reach further. Thank you
