Help Michelle Migliaccio Amoroso's medical bills

Donation protected
Michelle Amoroso is a 54 year old women. She has been seriously ill for awhile now. She has not been able to work since November.  The many doctors she sees feel she has more than one autoimmune disease. They say a lupus storm (flare up) started all her symptoms, which have been like a dominoe effect.  

Michelle started with an extremely bad sore throat that lasted over three months. She then ended up with hives on her chest which continued to worsen to the point of covering her whole body.  This happened in the matter of just a couple weeks.  Some of the doctors are saying it is an extreme case of psoriasis, to the extreme effect point that her hands and feet literally shed skin.  

Michelle is inflamed inside and out and living with severe pain. She then started having trouble breathing.  She still needs to see a pulmonologist.  Her chest x-ray show scaring of her lungs, interstitial lung disease with pulmonary fibrosis.  This is damage that is beyond repair. She now is in oxygen that she has to carry with her.  

All this has even caused Michelle to lose her hair. And now she is loosing her eye sight. It started about two months ago with blurry vision in her left eye. She has little peripheral vision left in either eye.  She needs to have an eye specialist and surgeon but can not get in anywhere due to lack of insurance.  Within a few weeks her right eye started going. She gets bright flashes going outside without dark glasses. Her optic nerve is severely damaged.

Michelle lost her insurance after not being able to go back to work. She needs this specialist for her eyes and help paying for it. She has applied for Medicaid and disability but that process could take months to years.   We re asking for help with past and future medical bills.
