Help Rebecca Rhoads ♥️

Hey, my name is Ashley Yeadon & I’m starting this go fund me to help a dear friend of mine, Rebecca Rhoads.

Rebecca started this journey over a year ago by going to a doctor inquiring about her knees and ankles. They would randomly swell 3x their size for no logical reason. After MANY Dr. appointments, all claiming to find nothing wrong-everything changed. Rebecca was told that after her MRI they found the bones from her ankles, knees, and femur had somehow lost blood supply and the bone was dead. She was told they didn’t have an explanation for this and gathered a team of doctors to investigate. She has been tossed from doctor to doctor, and along the way been diagnosed with Crohns Disease, endometriosis, and a genetic problem (HLA-B27) that weakens the immune system. She was even told that she will never be able to bear a child and needs a hysterectomy asap. I can’t imagine being 30 with no children and having to swallow that information. But just recently she was given the diagnosis of Spondyloarthritis, or spondyloarthropathy, which is an inflammatory arthritis affecting the spine. It typically starts in the spine and causes pain there, but for whatever reason hers started in her joints and aggressively progressed. She has been on FMLA and after having a reconstructive surgery on her ankle, and a complete knee replacement this month, she will not be able to return to work any time soon. They have said she may be scheduled for the other knee to be replaced in the following months as well. Her FMLA ran out today and she has already been scheduled for her hysterectomy, and physical therapy.

Im asking that anyone that can, PLEASE donate or even just share. She needs all the help she can get, and she’s ran out of options.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me at (256) [phone redacted], or Rebecca on Facebook. (I don’t want to share her phone number without prior permission)

Thanks everyone! We all know how hard life is financially in this economy. But if we all pull together, we can help a friend out. ♥️
