Jess' Scleroderma medical and living expenses

Donation protected
UPDATE
As of now we are trying to raise funds for our basic needs as I go through long term chemotherapy and other treatments/surgeries for a rare progressive disease, scleroderma. I also have lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and adrenal insufficiency. Unfortunately on top of all this my husband of 20 years recently attempted suicide and then decided he was leaving our family with no warning. So now I am also a single mom 

My disease has unfortunately attacked my lungs, digestive system, endocrine system and pancreas and  unfortunately the medical expenses are horrendous..  Unfortunately the cost of constant Drs appt, hospital stays, surgeries, and testing really adds up especially when you're facing health issues.  

Any help is greatly appreciated and we're  so thankful for the teams of people that have been there for us. We love you all. There's a more detailed story about us below.

Please continue prayers! 
MY name is Jessica Girardo and I have systemic lupus and scleroderma plus several other medical complications that the diseases have  caused;
Due to this we struggle with costs like gas, groceries,  medical copays, etc  unless we find help.  I am on disability and still  working part time to help with expenses but unfortunately my husband of 20 recently abandoned our family.   

 I am not supposed to be out in public much due to being on chemotherapy but I still try my hardest to work. . 
I struggle with systemic lupus and scleroderma which I was diagnosed with at age 12. First it was just lupus and then several other diagnosis' were added until I'm given the term Mixed connective tissue disorder. This disease is scary,  painful,  debilitating,  and cruel. If you are willing and able to help us we would be so very grateful.  
This has been incredibly hard and disheartening. I absolutely love working and just want to get back to being somewhat normal. I want to see my son Jeremiah graduate and get married! So please continue praying and sharing!

Please continue prayers!
