Help Support Lauren and Family
Donation protected
The Dawson Family has been experiencing some major health issues since 2019. Lauren has had health struggles over the years, including an Auto-immune disease, Lyme disease, and a most recent Lung cancer diagnosis. She has been in treatment every two weeks since 2021. This has taken a toll on her quality of life, as well as making it challenging to parent on days she is feeling sick. Both her daughters have also had their own health challenges.
Hannah (8) was born with an eye/brain condition called Nystagmus. In 2021 she broke her wrist, and awhile later was stung twice in two weeks at school. Hannah's reaction to these events led to partial paralysis and her inability to walk. After months of testing and visits with different specialists, she was diagnosed with "CRPS," a debilitating nerve disorder. She has been in a wheelchair off and on for the last year, and has recently been able to walk again without assistance after a lot of Physical Therapy and Treatment. It will be an on going condition that will have extreme ups and downs.
Lauren's daughter Emma (5) was diagnosed with "Wells Syndrome" in 2019 when she was hospitalized with some odd skin eruptions and pain. This is a rare condition, and there is still much to learn about it. She can have extreme reactions to bites, as well as experiencing unpredictable "flare ups" in her body.
The amount of appointments and specialists to keep up with everything is unimaginable. All three of their conditions are long term, and require ongoing attention. The family could use some support to help ease the burden of all the expenses. If you know Lauren, she has always been the one to reach out and help her friends in their time of need. She is doing everything she can to give her daughters the help and support they need, but that often means she isn't able to take care of her own needs. She has told me how she wishes she had the energy to reach out to friends, and respond to them when they are reaching out, but with everything that has been going on, she is in survival mode. Even if you aren't able to donate, please Share so we can get her the help she needs. Thank you.
