Help Terri Anne With Health Crisis Lived In Car Now New Apt.

TerriAnneTroyerGoFundMe:

My name is Terri Anne Troyer, I’m 64 yrs. I have 20+ diagnosed Chronic illnesses and 3 Rare Chronic diseases. I have been living in my car since April 2023. I’ve been on a Waitlist for a Low Income Housing apartment since April 2023, and a 1Bed. apartment has now finally become available for me to rent. I need help with the first month’s rent of $755, the apartment Security deposit of $755, and also the Duke Energy Security Deposit of $205. For income, I have only Social Security and whatever handmade items I can make and sell. The weather has impacted me financially because I had to use my food money for a hotel stay to avoid the tornadoes we had. I’ve been sick since 2019 with many illnesses (Pertussis, Mononucleosis, Severe Immune Response, Heart Attack, RSV, Shingles, Bronchitis, Respiratory Infections, torn Rotators Cuff, torn Shoulder & arm muscles, and more). I had to cash in all my Retirement accounts. I have no money, and I am unable to work due to my chronic diseases: Lymphadenopathy, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Stage 3 Kidney Disease, Bronchiectasis, Asthma, Scoliosis, Degenerative Disc Disease, Venous Insufficiency in both legs, and more. I do not have enough money to pay for my monthly medicine prescriptions and doctor Copays, and food.

My car is an 2005 Honda with 248,000 miles and needs major repairs including: steering replacement ($2400), air conditioner condenser & fans ($3000+), and new tires, & more.

Sleeping in my car has been very bad for my Scoliosis, Stage 3 Kidney Disease, Asthma, Bronchiectasis, and Allergies. My legs and feet are filled with fluid because my legs are lower than my heart. I don’t have any money to buy another used car with working air conditioning, or even have enough money to pay for food and bills. I make handmade jewelry and sit by the side of the road to sell it when I am able to sit for a short time and when it’s not too hot or cold outside. I need money to pay for 1st month’s apartment rent & security deposits, monthly medicines, food, gas, and a used car with working air conditioning (+ license plates, sales tax etc). I can NOT share apartment space with anyone due to my numerous chronic diseases and my being immunocompromised. My doctors are all here in Chapel Hill NC. My family and my daughter are in other states. I need to stay in Chapel Hill, NC because my doctors are in process of diagnosing whether I have Cancer, Lupus, and/or additional Autoimmune Diseases. I have something seriously wrong with my Immune system. I have recently been diagnosed with Lymphadenopathy, so I might have Lupus or Lymphoma cancer. My doctors are trying to diagnose what chronic disease is causing the lymphadenopathy and causing me to get sick with every disease I am exposed to.

I have been diagnosed with the following chronic diseases, including 2 rare diseases, and other diseases not listed below:

1) Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (genetic disease caused by a defect in the gene that codes for collagen that affects my everything in my body)

2) Mesentery Panniculitis.

3) Scoliosis (I need rod implants surgery- but the spine surgeon told me wouldn’t survive the surgery).

4) Degenerative Disc Disease

5) Osteoarthritis

6) Stage 3 Kidney Disease

7) Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

8) Asthma

9) Bronchiectasis

10) Severe Allergies (food, insect, pollen, fragrance, environmental)

11) Mitrovalve Prolapse

12) Heart Arrhythmia, heart Palpitations,

10) Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

11) Venous Insuffiency (all veins in both legs)

12) Raynaud Syndrome

13) Stage 1 Skin cancer

and other chronic health conditions.

I need to stay in this area (Chapel Hill, NC) for continued medical care to hopefully be diagnosed with what is causing my immune system to not function normally. I am extremely embarrassed and very humbled to ask for help, but I have no other options as I have depleted all my assets. All donated money will be put towards food, medicines, gas, bills, housing, and hopefully

there will be enough to buy a used, reliable, clean car with working air conditioning.

If you are unable to help monetarily, please pray for me. Thank you for any donations.

Thank you,

Terri Anne Troyer
